A delicious spread. Enjoy on bread or with (aromatic) cheese(s). Makes a very nice present. When the elder is in blossom in late spring it’s time to collect its umbels/heads and make use of their delicious, fresh, lightly sour sweet taste. Prep. time comes without overnight soaking.
These are sweet ‘stick to the gums’ cakes. Very simple to make and look very pretty on a tray if you use a red jam.
when I was in the states I went to Wegmans. It is the best most wonderful supermarket you could ever find. They sold brie and camebert cheese with toppings. I came home and couldn’t find anything like it, so here is my recipe for a “topping” I usually add this tag FINANCIAL JAM Caused by Politicians, banks, bosses, G.S.T., family, mates, poker machines & credit cards. Tell your friends you have a Financial Jam, And they should bring Camembert!!! It isn’t really a recipe, its more of an idea, and I invite you to do your own thing. I have used craisens, in the mix, was great, but I found australian sultanas were way too sweet. You dont have to add the chilli, but it cuts the sweetness. I use Chrissyo’s chilli sauce for home use, its great, but the jam doesnt look as good.
