I simmered two cups of the berries to make tea. The liquid is dark. 
Is this how you make elderberry tea in UK?

Am going to look for more elderberries to make your recipe next.
They're selling a bottled drink now here in Louisiana that is
elderberry blossoms mixed with Kombucha. No berries. I'm
only interested in the berries. 

Thank you for your help on this. And do you make a syrup for
colds? Health food store sells it for about $12.00 here. Works
great if you feel a cold coming on. Stops it in its tracks. Elderberry
pills do also but more fun to use the tasty syrup.for this.

Cheers.

I have answered my own question.   It was not quite set,  so I reboiled this morning and it does indeed get to 105 degrees (221 here in the states) with a longer full boil.  Already had on toast and it is wonderful.

Mine never set up like a true jam. It is very runny...but great taste and perfect for pancake syrup.
