Preparation

Step 1

Remove the pomegranate arils. I just slice it open and remove the arils in a bowl of cold water. The pith floats to the top. Discard the pith and drain the water.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the arils, elderberries, cinnamon stick, cloves, zest, and juice to a simmer. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from heat. Pour the mixture into a colander and strain the liquid. Using a potato masher get as much juice as you can from the berries and arils. **Discard the arils and berries if you want, I stored them in the fridge and sprinkled them on my salads until they were gone. Delish!

Whisk in the gelatin until dissolved. At this point I'd recommend grabbing a candy thermometer. Check the liquid's temperature. Once the mixture drops below 115° F, you may stir in the raw honey. Adding raw honey to a hot mixture can compromise the raw honey’s pollens or enzymes - a.k.a. the benefits!

Pour into an 8x8 casserole and chill in the fridge until set.

Either slice into squares or cut into fun shapes with cookie cutters.
