Elderflower jellies (and cordial)

06.02.2015 by georgie // Leave a Comment

It’s elderflower season! And I am giddy from picking this free treasure. I love that even living in a heavily built up and busy city I managed to do a little foraging. These beauties were found by the canal in East London and I’ve been back twice since (I haven’t depleted the whole tree I promise). We’ve had a quiet couple of days after a heavy few weeks and this was perfectly calming and therapeutic. So, a short and simple blog post from me today, and appreciating these beautiful little flowers in all their glory.

ELDERFLOWER CORDIAL

Classic elderflower cordial calls for just caster sugar and lemons, however I love the subtle addition of honey.

  • 15 heads of elderflower (be sure not to wash them, but do pick off any bugs)
  • 500g caster sugar
  • 4 tablespoons good quality runny honey
  • 2 unwaxed lemons
