autumn has officially arrived

We've been getting very excited about autumn. We found a load of fruit in the UK that we've made into a seasonal recipe, available in little bottles and big cartons. And we've made a film about it too...

The recipe is damsons, blackberries and elderflowers (in bottles), while the carton has damsons, blackberries and apples in it. Our elderflower growing friends in Hertfordshire had a tough year this year, so there were only limited amounts of elderflowers available.

It's good to get ingredients from harvest to bottle in a matter of days, so we hope you enjoy this recipe. From field to fridge in the blink of an eye.

Tough crop for elderflower? I had no idea. Is this documented somewhere? And when you refer to friends in Hertfordshire, are you by chance referring to William Ransom?

Thanks.

Hello Paul.

Sorry for the tardy reply. Our Nikki (the elderflower expert) has been away checking on our pomegranates.

Regarding the elderflower harvest, she says "Due to this summer's rain, the season finished earlier than expected. The rain is not good for the elderflowers and the farmers had moved the pickers onto other fruits."

That's why we didn't have enough elderflowers.
