Last year - when I was having the frugality phase, I tried to make elderflower champagne. It was a complete failure and has increased my resentment against Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall...I now have a great deal of elderflower vinegar, which, stored in large plastic milk bottles, is very useful for cleaning, especially when mixed to a paste with bi-carb.
Strawberries are something I adore, and I especially love strawberry jam - if it's home made. On Thursday I was in the farm shop and they had a tray of strawberries - for jam - for £3.60. I took them home, chopped them up and covered them with sugar - the next morning I made jam, and used the best ones to top the tarte aux fraises that I made.
I think getting 6 pots of jam and a tart, plus some strawbs to put on the museli is quite good on the frugality monitor.
