Combine elderberries, ginger, cinnamon, clove and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  

Cover and reduce to a simmer, allowing the mixture to simmer for 45-60 minutes.  

Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes, or longer if needed.

Pour the mixture into a fine mesh strainer over a bowl, and mash the berries to remove all of the juice.

Discard the remaining berries and add the liquid back into the saucepan.

Add honey to the saucepan and bring to a light boil, stirring often.  Reduce to a simmer for 5-10 minutes allowing it to thicken up to your preference, keeping an eye on the mixture so that it doesn't thicken up too much.

Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool before pouring into a jar.

Store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
