Apple & Elderflower Jelly
We're in the middle of elderflower season, one of my favourite things about early summer. I just love the scent. We already made a big batch of elderflower cordial earlier this month, and I've run out of bottles and space

Ground Elder & Potato Bake

Wild Garlic & Cheddar Biscuits (GF)
It's the peak season for wild garlic, both ramsons and few-flowered leek, so I simply must share our wild garlic & cheddar biscuits with you. There are absolutely more-ish! Ingredients 150g gluten free plain flour blend (I use Dove's Farm)*plus 1/4 tsp
