In reply to Christine. You can use fresh berries in this. I would just use a little more than the dried.

Can I make these with fresh elderberry jucice as opposed to dried berries? If so, what’s the ratio?

In reply to Jana. You can use fresh as long as the stems are removed. I would probably use a little more though since dried berries are more concentrated.

I’ll be picking fresh elderberries in my neighbourhood soon…can I use these instead or do they have to be dried?

In reply to Wellness Mama. Why can the plain, non-elderberry marshmallows last 3-4 weeks, but the elderberry ones can only last 3-4 days? I’ve found that the cinnamon & honey (maybe the cloves too) have preservative qualities to make my elderberry syrup last for months (I make and sell elderberry syrup). Why would those ingredients lengthen the life of the syrup, but the same ingredients shorten the life of the marshmallows?

These are so yummy! My son asked for them when he got the flu. Thanks for the treat!

In reply to Rita. I wouldn't recommend it in this recipe.

Can I use xylitol instead of honey?

Can I ask what the point of using raw honey is if you’re boiling it anyways? Raw honey loses most of its beneficial properties once it’s heated past 98.6 degrees F.

I made these last night using honey. I couldn’t get it to heat up past 225… But the marshmallows are brownish, not that beautiful purple like in the picture. Did you use maple syrup for those? Are mine still ok to eat?

Just curious, what do you mean when you say you had extra elderberry liquid from making syrup? I often make your elderberry syrup recipe and mine always ends up being more ounces than your recipe says it should be. After it simmers how much liquid should I be adding to the honey? Sorry, I know this doesn’t pertain to this post!

Has anyone tried freezing these? I have two trays of them and want them to last.

In reply to Amy. It wouldn't work well for the marshmallows. But you can use elderly syrup in elderberry kombucha soda and in my flu-busting gummies.

Katie, if you already have made elderberry syrup (with honey), can you at that point add gelatin somehow to make these marshmallows? If not, are there any recipes you can transform the elderberry syrup into to make it different? Thanks!

In reply to Tara. About 3-4 days at room temperature.

How long will these keep?

As a vegeterian option I suggest using agar-agar seaweed instead of gelatin: the powder gets mixed with the liquid elderberry preparation and heated until it boils and then, when it cools down, the agar-agar does its effect and gelify. How does it sound?

In reply to Katy.

Yes! I have done it before! I want to say that maybe it tended to be a little softer than when I have used store bought marshmallows. It was a special treat for my son’s birthday!

In reply to Kipp. The quality and to some degree the taste...

Hi, I was wondering what the difference between normal store-bought unflavored gelatin and the pasture-raised stuff is. Thanks!
