Not Champagne, I can make enough sticky mess on the Kitchen floor without knocking over a fermentation bucket...I've just bee out and picked the flowers, but had to scour 12 acres of allotments to find a picking, because I left it too late they had all finished. Thought I might have to travel to the northern Wastes (Pudsey or York) to find some. Decided to invest in my own safe supply by growing one.. the question is......Has anyone made it with the Black Elder Flower heads, can't bring myself to plant such a thug as the "normal" one but the Black are much more controlled. I'm assuming they aren't suddenly poisonous or anything and we will get a "pink" cordial. Has anyone tried it? Does anyone know enough botany to reassure me?David
I've missed the boat this year. But it does look like there will be a massive crop of berries later on. I make elderberry jelly, which is fantastic on hot buttered toast...
