Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

The washed and picked elderberries are cooked with the pitted and chopped plums, water, and sugar in a covered saucepan for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Then, whisk a level tablespoon of flour with 1/4 liter of milk and add to the boiling elderberries. If necessary, add more water and let it reduce slightly. Season to taste with lemon juice. A small dash of rum or slivovitz gives the dish a special flavor. If desired, apples or pear slices can also be cooked with the elderberry stew from the beginning. The elderberry stew can be served sprinkled with toasted breadcrumbs or garnished with buttered bread pieces. It also goes very well with semolina pancakes.
