Elderberry Port Recipe

This Elderberry Port recipe is one of the easiest things I make every year, it’s a brilliant late evening drink and I also use it often for presents.

If anyone knows me, even vaguely, you’ll know that I absolutely love quick wins that pack masses of flavour, maybe I’m getting more lazy with age. This recipe for making Elderberry port is one of the easiest things I make every year and it packs absolutely masses of flavour.

Ingredients:

• 500ml Port (of your liking)
• 100g Elderberries (removed from the stalk as much as possible)

Method:

1. Pop the elderberries in the microwave on high for 60 seconds to cook a little (this breaks down the small amount of toxins that are in them when they’re raw – although I’m certain you’d need much much more than 100g to have any issues at all)
2. Pop them into the bottle of port and leave them to sit and infuse
3. Leave them for as long as you can, it often gets nicer over 6 months +
4. When ready, pass it through a sieve to remove the berries and enjoy.
