A couple of weeks ago I mangled a recipe for Elderflower “Champagne”.
It sat in its bucket for two weeks, smelling a bit odd, getting a smidge mouldy-looking, and eventually a bit bubbly. I found a site that said a bit of mould wasn’t dire, so I scooped it off when I saw it, and stirred the mix every so often.
Today, I filtered and decanted into bottles.
I was looking round for a gardening blog to read, and happened across Two Thirsty Gardeners, which sounded right up my street.
I meandered round their site for a bit, before coming across an old post on Elderflower Sparkle. This reminded me that I had missed elderflower season the last few years, and I resolved to head out into the field behind my house the next morning to check on progress.
The other weekend, H’s mum and I went to a Wild Food event at Culzean near Maybole in Ayrshire.
It was a gorgeous sunny afternoon, and at 2pm we met up with a group of people (including quite a few kids) and a couple of rangers who were going to guide us round the estate, then take us to a kitchen to cook our findings.
