igenlodeI made elderflower cordial; I was planning to make elderflower and rose cordial, but the scented roses from the cemetery were no longer anywhere to be found, and even the specific bush by a specific grave that I had once used on a later occasion was still there, but bizarrely was no longer scented (lack of rain?) So I picked extra heads to make the quantity up to thirty for the non-rose recipe.
Then I subsequently used the citrus slices to make a few jars of sweet orange marmalade, having remembered previous doomed attempts at not wasting them! And I used the final partial jar of marmalade to make some marmalade buns, which are basically rock buns with marmalade stirred into them in place of most of the sugar. I also put some of my last batch of home-made marmalade on them afterwards as a topping, as the open jar has been sitting around taking up space in the fridge for a very long time. I still haven't quite managed to finish it up, as it was cut extremely chunky and I could only balance a few lumps on the top of each bun :-p
