Recipes

Our Belvoir fruit farms cordials are perfect to use in cooking as they perk up and add taste to lots of different dishes and also make a perfect base for fruity cocktails.

The cooking recipes linked from this page have been concocted by two masterchefs for your delectation!

You can always make really simple delicious drinks with the cordials such as a dash of elderflower in a white wine spritzer or a gin or vodka & tonic, which are both wonderful, depending which tipple you like best. Here are some proper cocktails which have been put together by two sensational mixologists: so get muddling and mixing!

Elderflower Crème Patissière

This crème pattissière can be used in a fruit tart. Buy a pastry case, or individual pastry cases and fill with the crème pattissière.

Orange & Cranberry Tart

The colour of the custard is a rusty orange and you can either use a blow torch to give a brulèe effect or simply scatter sieved icing sugar on to it before serving.

Blackcurrant Meringue Ice-Cream

This is the quickest of the recipes and if made the night before makes a trouble-free pudding - you don't even have to stir the mixture part way through freezing.

Cinnamon and Spiced Winter Berries Ice-Cream

This is a more sophisticated version of the Blackcurrant Meringue Ice-cream and the great thing is that you don't need to stir the mixture part-way through freezing.
