Thanks for the recipe.

do you think i might be able to reduce it now, or have i got elderberry vinegar

I made some of the River Cottage one last year and have a bottle I'm not touching for a bit to see how it ages. Have put it at the back of the cupboard and ignored it so far so just got to do the same for another few years......

I've just found a bottle of pontac sauce that I made in 1992. I never really knew what to do with it so hid it at the back of the cupboard to 'mature'. Do you think it's ready yet?! More to the point do you think it is safe to try it? Maybe a dash on a grilled kidney?
