Summertime is here again! or The Ode to the Elderflower

How beautiful is the humble elderflower? I will show you - picked this morning outside my back door with Dolly Day Dream at my feet pecking at her corn on the cob - life doesn't get sweeter. There are few words for this wonder of nature and I am sure that the prodigious pollen on the flowers must qualify as Fairy Dust  . . .

I wrote an extensive blog this time last year, with the science, history and recipes - just click on to Elderflowers in the list to the right and you can read it again. There are also recipes on my m.rosimakesjam.com recipe site.

We also have lots of offers on Love Jars for the small milk bottles - they have been reduced in price and now come in 10's for 59p each, 35s for 39p each and 70s for 37p each - don't forget to order your lid of choice.

So get making, great for a party or a wedding - or just drinking!
