I made the elderflower cordial with blood oranges, since that happens to be the (expensive) speciality of the season which the greengrocer has been selling me, and as a result it came out the most astonishing pink colour after the slices of orange had been steeping with the elderflowers for 36 hours :-)

In fact it bears a strong visual resemblance to the rose and elderflower cordial, albeit without the hint of rose flavour. ( Sweetness )
( Excess elderflowers )
I also need to make some sweet orange marmalade to use up the steeped citrus slices, which proved a very successful tactic last year...
