Elderflower Orange Jelly

Submitted by Eismeer

"A delicious spread. Enjoy on bread or with (aromatic) cheese(s). Makes a very nice present. When the elder is in blossom in late spring it's time to collect its umbels/heads and make use of their delicious, fresh, lightly sour sweet taste. Prep. time comes without overnight soaking."
