I know its the wrong time of year but I just happened to be thinking about it.

Earlier this year we tried two different recipes - one with not much sugar that tasted fab but didn't last - and one with loads of sugar that we still have but is of course very sweet.

Anyone got a good compromise or variations that might be useful?

Do you mean elderflower cordial, or elderberry cordial (or both)?

I have subsequently discovered that mixing the cordial with chilled strong white cider is very refreshing indeed. We still have a several doz bottles left as we pasteurise them. I am also taking cuttings from the bushes that had sweet smelling flowers to plant at the plot (because my wife picked around 600 flower heads and as there's not many elders round here, I subsequently had real trouble finding enough berries for wine).

If elderberry, they are still about, but have not tried yet, but have few recipes.
