Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Line a 9-inch pie plate with bottom crust. Set aside.

Step 3

Combine elderberries and sugar in a large pot. Mix together cornstarch and water in a small bowl to make a slurry, then pour over berries in the pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until filling bubbles and desired thickness is reached. Add more cornstarch slurry if not thick enough. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.

Step 4

Pour elderberry mixture into the prepared pie plate. Dot with butter. Cover with lattice top crust and seal.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is browned and filling is bubbling through holes in crust, about 40 minutes.
