Raspberries, Elderflower Cream and leftover Elderflower Shortbread

July 1, 2012 By All That I'm Eating 34 Comments

So you’re in the kitchen feeling a bit peckish and you spot the biscuit tin. My biscuit tin had previously been looking after some elderflower and white chocolate shortbread but was there any left? Yes. Yes there was some left, but just one piece. Should I eat it myself and snub all knowledge of its existence?    Unfortunately as I was plotting how to cover my tracks my other half walked in to the kitchen with a similarly devilish plan. I Read more

Elderflower and White Chocolate Shortbread

June 18, 2012 By All That I'm Eating 30 Comments

When you’ve gone to the effort of making elderflower sugar it is paramount that you make the most of it in ever varying and interesting ways. I thought I’d run out of sugar much sooner than I have; indeed I still have around 500g left. The sugar itself has an incredible aroma and every time you open the lid it smells of hedgerows. The little elderflower cakes I made were lovely but I wanted something a little more biscuit orientated. Not only Read more

Miniature Elderflower Cakes made with Elderflower Sugar

June 12, 2012 By All That I'm Eating 39 Comments

I had grand visions of picking great swarms of elderflowers and returning home to concoct some floral cordial. My imaginings were interrupted with the first (and now unrelenting) rain and my great plan was no more. I had heard that elderflower is not to be picked on a rainy day and I wasn't about to don my wellingtons and test that theory. So instead of making gallons of cordial I baked some elderflower in to my life. These little cakes I suppose Read more

Sloe Port: The Taste Test

April 10, 2012 By All That I'm Eating 19 Comments

My sloe journey started on an early Autumn day when I was full of enthusiasm for making sloe gin. After rambling through the hedgerows, dodging a few rabbit holes and being careful of the thorns I had a basket rammed with sloes. I had romantic visions of sloe picking scenes but in reality it was pretty hard work. Was it worth it? Absolutely. The sloe bushes are now in full, sweet smelling blossom and my port is ready. If you are out and about and Read more

Sloe and Hedgerow Gin: The Taste Test

November 22, 2011 By All That I'm Eating 15 Comments

Some of you may know that I made my own sloe gin and hedgerow gin this year. It all started on a warm September afternoon with a kilo of sloes, some hedgerow berries, a sprinkling of sugar and a litre of fine gin. It's something I've never even attempted before but I thought how hard can it be? Turns out it's extremely simple. Put it all together and leave the flavours and juices to mingle and infuse for as long as you can wait. The longer you can Read more

Making Sloe and Hedgerow Gin

October 23, 2011 By All That I'm Eating 25 Comments

Apart from autumn being the time for pumpkin soup, squash in all its forms and stews galore it is also the time for making sloe and hedgerow gin. There are some sloe purists who will not touch this lovely berry until a frost has been. Then there are those like me who pick them nice and early and speed nature up a bit. Either way if you've got sloes around it means it's time to make some sloe and hedgerow gin.   Whether you decide to make sloe Read more

Foraging

August 14, 2011 By All That I'm Eating 16 Comments

I've always been prone to getting out an exceedingly large basket and frolicking amongst the hedgerows at this time of year. I'm normally trying to amass as many blackberries as possible before they disappear. This year has been different as my world has become festooned with plums of all colours just ready for the picking.

These plums were no bigger than an apricot and tasted quite similar. The flesh was as bright as the skin and as sweet as honey.

These Read more
