With the elderflower shrubs now in full bloom, this is the perfect time to harvest on of England's many seasonal treats.
Elderflower is really a flavouring - add them to fruit compotes, steep them in hot cream for custard, make cordial, combine with ricotta to fill tarts and fritters or add them to honey, wine, mustard and garlic to make a beautiful glaze to roast new season lamb.
