Elderberry Jam

After back-to-back work out classes at the local gym, my aunt and I hobbled around the kitchen making Elderberry Jam.  Allow me some artistic license here: elderberries make such a lovely color.  

We used a potato masher to smush the berries.

This is the niftiest tool: it's like a funnel made specifically for canning.  We used it for the pickles the other day.

What a beautiful jewel tone!
