Elderflower Cordial

Ahh tis the season for foraging and nothing screams summer more loudly (or with greater scent) than the humble elderflower.

It will not help my sugar free eating but last year I missed the flowers so I am determined to make elderflower cordial this summer. The flowers have come out in abundance this week and I am lucky to live close to many a winding lane with plenty of these lovely blooms.

I certainly couldn't have picked a less summery day to pick the flowers but brave the rain I did and my first batch is now doing it's thing overnight before being bottled up tomorrow. I'll post the recipe tomorrow once I have had a chance to taste it.
