Here you’ll find a list of our favourite Elder Recipes. The shrub offers different things with quite amazingly different flavours throughout the year. In early summer we have the incredible aroma of Elderflowers filling the air and we can make sweet delights with these from cordial to lemon drizzle cakes. In autumn we’re then gifted with the Elderberries which we use mainly in savoury dishes from balsamic or pontac sauce to venison stew.
