Ingridients
- 50 elderflowers
- 5 liters of water
- 2.5 kg of sugar
- 3 bags of lemon juice

Place all 50 elderflowers in a large pan and pour 5 liters of boiled and cooled water over them. Cover the pan with a clean cloth and let the flowers soak overnight.

Elder jam from elder flowers
Ingridients
- 8 to 10 elderflowers
- 1 lemon
- 600 g of sugar
- 1 bag of celery
Preparation
First, shake off the fabric and clean the elderflowers (don't wash them!), which we collected in dry, sunny weather away from the smog. Soak them in acidified water for 24 hours (two tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice go into a liter of water). Squeeze the lemon to get the juice. Before placing the jam in the jars, put it in an oven heated to 80 degrees Celsius for a quarter of an hour. Strain the acidified elderflower water through a thick strainer lined with cheesecloth and boil. Pour in the jelly, which we previously mixed with three spoons of sugar. Stir in the remaining sugar, bring to a boil again and cook for three minutes. In the meantime, remove the foam from the surface. Pour the liquid into glasses, seal them tightly and turn them upside down to further disinfect them. Store the marmalade in a cold place.

Ingridients
- 16 elderflowers
- 250 g of flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 dl oil (you can also use coconut fat or palm oil)
- 2 dl of dry white wine
- 10 g of cane sugar
- pinch of salt
- a pinch of freshly ground cardamom
Preparation
Separate the yolks and whites (save them). Sift the flour into a bowl and add the oil, wine, sugar, egg yolk, salt and cardamom. Mix with a whisk until a smooth dough is formed, which is left to stand for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, gently rinse the elderflowers and drain them on a (paper) towel. Then beat the egg white until stiff and mix into the dough. Dip the flowers in it and fry them gradually in a not too shallow pan in which we have previously heated the oil (the flowers must float in it). Fry for about 5 minutes until golden brown. In the meantime, turn the elderflowers over so that they bake evenly. After frying, place them on paper towels to absorb as much excess fat as possible.
