- 3 large elderflower heads
- 1/2 unwaxed lemon finely pared and juiced

- 140 ml dessert wine

Servings:
Instructions
- Gently dip the elderflower heads in cool water then place in a non corrosive pan with the lemon peel, sugar, wine and water. Dissolve the sugar over a moderate heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and leave to cool slightly.
- Cut the cherries in half and remove their stones over a mixing bowl so that you catch the juice. Halve the strawberries if they are on the large side and mix into the cherries.
- Strain the warm ( not hot) syrup over the fruit, pressing the juice from the flower heads. Leave to macerate until you are ready to eat.
