Friends for Dinner

Last night, we had some friends over for dinner. We started with asparagus and the same dressing we made last week:

Next, we had rosemary and garlic lamb, crushed new potatoes, fresh peas, runner beans and winter greens:

And finally, elderflower jelly with summer fruits and vanilla ice-cream:

The jellies, based on a Mark Hix recipe, turned out very well. Elderflower is very sweet but this was nicely balanced by the sharpness of the fruits. Th fruit is cleverly suspended due to a two-stage setting process.
