I used the steam juicer. 
I put about a gallon bag of elderberries in and in 1 hour I had 7 cups of juice. I will weigh the berries next time. I could not believe there would be that much juice. I made jelly and have 12 half pints of elderberry jelly. It was so easy. You can make vegetable broth for soups. I am going to do blackberries tomorrow and make 1 batch of jelly and then get some juice for drinking. I could can juice, but I might just make juice like every 4 days or so. One quart of juice and add a quart of water and can sweeter or add different juice for whatever flavor you want. I also used the rest of the cucumbers and made dill pickles using the water bath canner. I have 7 pints. About the same ingredients as the fermented one, but has vinegar. I also made lemon, raspberry, zucchini bread, 2 loaves.
