That’s so wonderful to hear Laurie, thank you so much. Elderflowers no where near forming here in the UK yet.

I made this last year for my husband who loves lemon everything and it was a huge hit… I will be making it again now that it’s spring and elderflower is in bloom here in Florida. Thanks for this amazing recipe ❣️

Just come across this post. Did you use elderflower cordial in place of one lemons juice and did it work?

Hi Diane, I’ve not tried it myself but having done some research it seems you can freeze curd for up to a year and then thaw overnight in the fridge. You should then use it up within 3 weeks.

Hello, I made this last year and it was delicious. I’m just about to make some this and wonderd if it could be put in plastic containers and frozen?
Thank you.

Hi Danuta, that’s so lovely to hear, maybe keep kitty off the curd, I don’t want to be responsible for giving him/her diabetes:-) I’ve never made this with cordial but would suggest having a look at other recipes on Google that do to get a feel for how much to use. Do let me know how you get on!

I recently tasted elderflower curd (a commercially-prepared product, won’t mention the brand!) and wow! Sadly, there are no elderflower trees where I live (West Coast of Canada), but we do have Ikea and bless them, they sell Elderflower Cordial. I was wondering if your Lemon and Elderflower Curd could be adapted to use the cordial? Perhaps replace the juice of one of the lemons with the cordial? I’ll give it a go but I thought you might have already experimented with that option. Cheers, btw….I’ve been really enjoying making your recipes….but the lemon curd is absolutely the best, and I’ve converted a lot of friends to your recipe!

Hi Pearly, glad you like my Lemon Curd. I have never used dried elderflowers so not sure what difference in flavour there would be but you would use the same quantity of flower heads.

The lemon curd are so yummy and easy to make. i’m not very good with cakes and bakes. i’ve done it twice now. however i use 100g sugar instead of 200g as I like it more tart than sweet. Only enough to fill one peanut butter size bottle which lasts about 2-3 weeks.

i’ll like to try the lemon and elderflower curd. Can i use store bought dried Elderflower for Lemon and Elderflower curd? do i use the same quantity [5 elderflower heads ] or more ?

Any advise is helpful.

Thank you again.

This recipe is so easy and sooo delicious.
During our lockdown walks I became aware of the elderflowers blossoming. I love elderflower flavour, so decided that since I had time I would make something with them. I found your recipe and wow it’s so delicious.
I have made 3 batches with elderflowers collected from our 3 ‘Covid walks’.
I have tweaked your recipe a little. I use 8 Flower heads and zest from only one of the lemons. I wanted more elderflower than lemon flavour.
Tip. I get the zest from the other lemon and freeze it. It comes in useful when I want to bake a cake to use some of the curd.
Thank you Camilla.

Hi I have now updated the post for you, so I’ve put about 3 weeks, I haven’t really ever left it longer as it soon goes in our house! Opened jars won’t last as long as sealed ones.
