Those are some of my exploits of spring and early summer;-) (from left to right). Raspberry / sloe drink, elderflower gelée, raspberry / sloe mousse, elderflower cordial. Look at those older posts how I made the cordial and the mousse.
The gelée is by my mother, and she just took the cordial recipe and took pectinous sugar and a piece of vanilla and made a gelée from the elderflowers that tastes absolutely great and is refreshing to boot when eaten on cooled butter on fresh rye bread!
Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.
