What a lovely Sunday! My husband has been a busy bee working in the garden and I decided to try to make elderberry cordial. I have made it from the flowers many times and I’ve tried to make marmalade a couple of times of the berries. But never cordial. Said and done – I picked berries and boiled them together with a couple of apples. Poured it thru a filter and then boiled the juice and added sugar and citric acid. Voilà! Easy peasy. And it tastes ok. The flavor reminds me of sloe (slånbär) or maybe it is just the color that tricks me into thinking that.
I’ve had a lovely afternoon with an old friend of mine. She invited me up to her house for afternoon coffee and chat and we had a lot of catching up to do. Haven’t sat down and talked to her since before all this started. Probably not since February. She was here and tried our spa when I was on my sick leave. Ages ago.
Going to bbq again tonight – a whole steak this time. Potatoes in the oven and the meat on the grill. Fingers crossed it will turn out as delicious as it looks.
