My wife has been talking about this jam for ages saying how much she misses it and for some reason UK supermarkets, even farmers markets don’t seem to stock it. I realised I pass so many elderflower trees on my cycle home from work and thought I’d give it a try. This recipe is amazing. Absolutely foolproof. Thank you for posting it. Made it last June and she said it was best she’d ever had. Back in June and about to make another batch. Doubling up this time though as it doesn’t last very long!

Yes, I see them growing up and down our road but of course the trick is to find a supply away from a main road. Last year the birds beat me to the ones around our local farm so ended up on an adventure to pastures new to find more:-)

Hi Becky, I’ve not tried it myself but after doing a bit of research it seems that 6 tablespoons of Elderflower Cordial added at the same point as the petals should work. It may delay the setting point a little but I’d still start testing from 14 minutes. Do let me know how you get on!

Can I use that, and how much ?
Looking forward to trying your jams. You make it look easy. Thanks so much!
Becky

Thank you Candace, there’s always next year. If you can’t find Elderflowers try doing a shout out in a local Facebook group, that’s how I found mine after local trees had been chopped down!

Just wish I could get fresh elderflowers

Thanks Caroline, so true, but not sure there’ll be any left as it’s been so popular:-)

It would be great to have a jar of this in the cupboard in the autumn to enjoy those summer flavours.

If you’ve never had elderflower before then I don’t think anything I say will describe the flavour as they have a very beautiful distinct flavour.

They work so well together and yes shop bought jam isn’t a patch on homemade which is so enjoyable to make:-)

I love making jam so I’ll give this a go. The stuff you buy in the shops just isn’t the same!

Yes, I would just decrease the time boiling time too, so maybe start testing from 7 minutes, I know my one punnet strawberry jam takes about 5 minutes.

I love the idea of adding elderflower to strawberry jam, what a gorgeous extra flavour to lift and make it even more summery.
