Italian Bottles

We have lots of lovely new Italian bottles in stock - already for the Elderflower season which will be here before we know it! The bottles are reasonably priced, stylish and in a variety of sizes with some beautiful shapes. There are two sizes of oil bottle in both green glass and clear and they come with a choice of cap - gold or black with an intergral plastic pourer. The sweetest little bottle with a swing top stopper is just 40ml and ideal to use as a wedding favour. Take a look - we'll be having some lovely new elderflower labels as well shortly.

Entente Cordial

Well, I don't know where that fortnight went to! We have been busy, busy, busy, as usual and have been making lots of Elderflower cordial while the flowers are so lovely. My Trev took some beautiful pics of the flowers in our garden - they really make a stunning show at this time of year. We have also made some Lemon Cordial which is so delicious - I don't like squash or lemons very much, but this is so refreshing. It looks great in our swing top bottles. We diluted it with sparkling mineral water but I can just imagine it as a gin and tonic as well! Email me if you want the recipe. We've also been making Mediterranean Chutney with lots of lovely peppers and aubergine, good old Piccalilli and tomorrow we are going to devise a recipe for a barbeque sauce. I think I'll have to go and lie down for a bit.
