Elderflowers - Am I too late

soaplady · « **on:** July 14, 2008, 08:00 »

As per subject really, have I missed them this year, or might I be lucky and find some. I don't really know the season, and if I have missed them, is there anything else I can use to make a cordial please.

Thanks

The elderflowers around here are turning to berries now Soaplady, I'm waiting for the berries to make some wine!!!

What about blackcurrants? but I don't know a lot about cordials, so someone will come along with some ideas soon I'm sure.

The elderflowers are turning round here too. If you wait a couple of weeks you could make cordial from the elderberries, its supposed to be very good for colds etc especially if you have a glass a day. Try this link

Blackcurrants are just starting so that may be a good idea.
