Rhubarb & Elderflowers - a sweet treat!

After my delicious Elderflower Cordial last year I was unable to buy the Citric Acid that I needed to make it again (it seems that everyone's making it this year!!!), so I had to search for new and exciting ways to use the sweet-smelling flowers.

I have a fantastic book called 'From Mother to Daughter' which has some simple ideas for country living, including a recipe for Rhubarb & Elderflower Jam.

This was perfect, as whilst the elderflowers were blooming along the hedgerows around us our farm box also arrived with freshly picked rhubarb!

This jam is superb, especially on warmed scones and cream!!

What a treat!
