I couldn't miss the Elder trees are starting to flower as I drove Denise (one of our Food4 vans) home through the country lanes this evening. It will soon be time for Elderflower fritters - one of our favourite summer treats. Simply pick the whole flower heads (leave a little stalk to hold whilst dipping), give them a good rinse in cold water then dip them in a thin batter. shallow fry them in hot oil until they are just golden. Dust in icing sugar and enjoy. The perfect way to end a summer bar-be-que!
- Don't pick wild food unless you are sure of what you are picking! - a far easier way to enjoy one of the great flavours of summer is to pour yourself a chilled glass of Elderflower presse from our good friends at Cornish Orchards!
