Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey.

Instructions

1
Combine the dried elderberries, water, ginger, turmeric, Ceylon cinnamon stick, and cloves in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 40–45 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by roughly half and the berries are very soft and have released their deep purple color.
2
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Use a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon to press the berries firmly against the side of the pan, extracting as much juice as possible.
