Some brands of gelatin thicken differently. It also depends on the elderberry syrup you’re using, how thin it is, and it’s sugar content (which effects the syrups thickness). If they aren’t as solid as you’d like, you can always gently re-melt the mixture and add more gelatin.

Thank you!

Agar agar can be used instead but you may need to tweak the amount added to get the texture right.

So it I triple it, do I use 3/4 cup gelatin?

Wondering the same!

When making elderberry syrup, I add 1/4 cup of vodka. This actually helps with the flu and increases its shelf life by a lot! I’m going to make these tonight with my homemade syrup and let you know how it goes. (The added alcohol is only around 6% of the total syrup so children can still consume.)

This recipe makes 16-32 adult servings or 40-80 servings for children.

Katie recommends gelatin from grass-fed and pasture raised animals for the health benefits. Here’s what she uses https://www.perfectsupplements.com/Perfect-Bovine-Gelatin-p/ps-gelatin.htm?Click=92884

Freezing shouldn’t harm it.

Thank you! I’m going to try this.

Does freezing decrease the medicinal properties? Do you know if I freeze the syrup if it destroys the medicinal component?

I used 2 gummy molds from JoAnns but had lots of left over that I put in a glass pan. I’ll buy 2 more molds

I agree the recipe needs updated to show room temp. Cooled to me means refrigerated. I should’ve read the comments first.
