Guest Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 anyone got a tried and tested recipe please? also, I've already stripped the berries from the stalks so if you could possibly give me the approx weight in berries rather than "10 elderberry heads" I'd be really grateful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joojoo Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hi I haven't got a recipe for Elderberry Cordial BUT when you do get around to making it, try mixing some with Grand Marnier yum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hi I haven't got a recipe for Elderberry Cordial BUT when you do get around to making it, try mixing some with Grand Marnier yum do you think it would be nice hot, with a tot of rum in it?

Anything's worth trying once I know the Grand Marnier works with it as a long cool drink. The producers of Grand Marnier had a stand at Gardeners World at the NEC and were serving it. It was lovely edited to add: you are going to curse me for raising your hopes - it's elderflower cordial not elderberry (though poss still worth a try). Have a look at this for the recipe http://www.grand-esprit.co.uk/discover-recipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
