Bottlegreen Pomegranate and Elderflower Cordial 500 ml (Pack of 6)

Product Information

Elderflower liqueur comes from the small white flowers of elderflower bushes typically found in different parts of Europe. It has a herbal flavor and is a lot sweeter than you would expect. As a result, leaving you with a delicate, palate-cleansing finish! It pairs perfectly with a tart fruit such as pomegranate and finishes beautifully with some bubbly! Ingredients Fruit, vegetable or florals - for best results, use produce which is in season. Make sure to wash these thoroughly before using.

Tartaric acid or citric acid - these are used as a preservative, they're optional and can be bought from a chemist or health food shop. Over a mixing bowl, crumble both the soft amaretti and the meringues into large crumbs of differing sizes (anything from brazil- to hazelnut-sized is good). Toast the flaked almonds in a dry, shallow pan to a pale, golden brown, then add to the crumbs. Roughly chop and add the pistachios. Finely grate the clementines into the crumbs. Finely chop the candied fruits, then mix everything together. None of my Christmas extras need to be eaten the moment they are made. All will keep for a day or two and the ice-cream can stay in the freezer all Christmas, ready to slice or scoop on New Year’s Day. Scented with orange zest and almond, with vine fruits and candied citrus; dusted with chopped pistachios and rose petals or sprayed with gold, they are the essence of the season, sweetmeats with which to amuse and delight. None take very long to make, or require special equipment. Just an hour or two in which to do something special, magical, a little extra something for all who come calling.

This is one of those endlessly useful recipes that can turn up as an alternative to traditional, individual mince pies, or in larger slices as a dessert, for which you might like to make a jug of vanilla custard. The tray of uncut pastries will keep well in foil or an airtight tin for a couple of days, to slice as needed. A cut-and-come-again mince pie.Spoon the filling over the pastry and lightly smooth the surface. Place the remaining sheets of filo on top, again buttering between each. Trim any overhanging pastry. Snap the chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. Put a pan of water on to boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Place the bowl of chocolate over the water (the base of the bowl should not touch the water) and leave to melt. Let the pieces of chocolate turn to liquid, pushing them gently under the surface as they melt.
