Elderflower time again
I thought those with elder trees, or access to them, might like to have this: ELDERFLOWER CORDIAL 90 heads of Elder flower, picked at mid-day 6 sliced lemons 9lbs. Preserving sugar (Caster will do but Preserving is better) 7.5 oz. Citric or Tartaric acid Put all the ingredients into a large bowl or clean plastic bucket. Add 7.5 pints boiling water. Stir night and day for 5 days. Strain, squeezing the lemons. Put into plastic bottles and deep freeze. Take out only when wanted, and refrigerate as it wonıt keep out of the freezer for more than 5 to 7 days. Dilute with water to taste. This makes a very refreshing drink in hot weather. Undiluted, itıs also good on gooseberries or over fruit salad. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon email address on web site |
