Process for 10 minutes in a water bath canner (add 1 minute for every 1,000 feet above sea level).
Grandma wrote that the syrup was good for 1 year when canned. Unsealed and chilled in the refrigerator, she used it for 2 months. Grandma also wrote to NOT to try to adjust the sugar or lemon juice amounts in this recipe. My PH has tested 3.6 to 3.8 consistently for this elderberry syrup recipe over many years and batches, so it looks like Grandma’s proportions are exactly right.
