Elderberry jam is a flavorful spread made from ripe elderberries, sugar, and often a hint of lemon juice or pectin for better consistency. Originating from European cuisine, elderberries have long been prized for their tart, earthy flavor and their use in traditional remedies. The jam is rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which support immune health and combat oxidative stress. Elderberries are also known for their high dietary fiber and vitamin C content, making them a nutritious addition to meals. However, elderberry jam does contain added sugar, which may offset some of its health benefits if consumed in excess. It pairs well with toast, yogurt, or as a filling in pastries, offering a vibrant taste and a touch of wholesome goodness to your dishes. Always ensure elderberries are properly cooked, as raw elderberries can be toxic.
