I've realised that Tate & Lyles Golden Syrup is hard to find in some places other than here in the UK so this is a homemade golden syrup. The aroma is slightly different but obviously that's their wee secret lol. So now you have no excuse to substitute honey or molasses in your toffee!! Use in syrup cookies and syrup sponge cakes also

Add a drop of red coloring to your rose syrup, serve with mint leaves and your guests will just love it.

I was so excited while seing strawberries at the market, and made it into a very tasty syrup, this can made for light or heavy syrup. If it's light syrup, just use ratio 1 : 1 : 1 for the sugar : strawberries : liquid. If heavy syrup you could use ratio 1 : 1 : 1/2.

This syrup is a crowd pleaser. The flavor of the fresh lavender pairs wonderfully with the floral notes in the raw honey for a summer beverage that is delightfully reminiscent of running through a meadow... in your mouth. It goes great in iced coffee, lemonade, champagne, kombucha or a creative summer cocktail. It also makes a great gift. Enjoy!

In June you can find blooming elder everywhere here. In parks, gardens or at forest borders. I love the fragrance of the umbels and they make a very fine syrup. When I go out to collct the umbels I make shure not to harvest the whole bush but to only pick three to four umbels per bush. I am very lucky to have some of these bushes in my family and friends gardens and they let me pick the flowers in exchange of some syrup. Storebought elderflower syrup is fine but it is more fun and luscious to make it yourself. Mix it with water, wine or Prosecco, add strawberries or mint or both or add a tbsp to a fruit salad.Hope you like it!

The Vitamin C in rosehip syrup is gone after nine months.You can collect your own rosehips iin your garden by not cutting your dead roses in fall, and see if they develop rosehips. You can also plant rose hip bushes as a hedge, like Rosa Rugosa Alba, a hedge rose which produces the best rose hips. You can forage for rosehips in the woods, or order dried rosehips on amazon.

Always great on ice cream, waffles, pancakes or crepes!

Buying gum syrup every time I wanted an iced coffee was annoying so I decided to just make some myself.If you accidentally end up with glucose syrup, add some hot water and it should still be ok. Recipe by Komafin

Euell Gibbons was known for eating almost anything including the fruits between the thorns on hawthorn bushes. They grow everywhere around my hometown and nobody uses them. Apparently they make a tonic that is effective for heart ailments when made as a tincture, with alcohol, but I'm a big fan of syrup so, here goes...
