- Wash and stem the elderberries. Place them in a saucepan with a very small amount of water, cinnamon stick and lemon peel. Boil until berries burst, about 10 minutes.
- Strain the mixture to get rid of seeds and return the liquid to the saucepan. Add the sugar and bring to the boil, stirring. Boil until the jam thickens.
- Pour into sterilised jars and place the lids on tightly.
