The message
from Sacha contains these words:
Lack of sun does affect ripening and sweetness. One thing you can do a
little earlier in the year is collect elder flowers and make elderflower
cordial which is, admittedly, made with a lot of sugar but still retains a
certain tartness and tastes wonderful poured over gooseberries especially.
May I suggest that you use tartaric acid instead of citric?
It's much better, I agree. Difficult to get both these days, though.
IMO elderflower cordial has horrid undertones of cheap lemonade.
Hmmm, not to us. We just find it very refreshing and a little bit 'sharp'.
