I was given this recipe at a hedgerow food tasting thingy last year. If I remember it was very tasty.

Elderberry catsup

2 quarts Elderberries
Vinegar to cover
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp allspice
1 tbsp cloves
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper (or paprika)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon

Cook elderberries in vinegar until berries burst. Put berries through a food press or sieve, add sugar, cinnamon, allspice, cloves and pepper. Simmer until thickens. Pour into sterilized jars and seal.

Haven't tried making it myself yet as I haven't managed to get my hands on any elderberries this year.
