How To Make Gorse Flower Sorbet
Went round Dartmoor last week nibbling on Gorse flowers to see what they taste like. I believe it was mentioned that they taste a bit like coconut.
So picked some fresh flowers and a couple of us tried them and they tasted like fresh peas. Maybe the flower has to be open for a couple of days to develop the flavour.
Will try again soon as I hope to have a go at making that sorbet.
Mmmm, that looks delicious Ash. Although just watching the film took all the enamel off my teeth
The smell is like coconut, but the taste isn't. Fresh peas is a good desciption. The smell is better when the sun has been on them for a bit too.Originally Posted by TreeCamper
Looking outside at the mo, I reckon the flowers are hiding..
Thanks Jonny Looking outside at the moment its blowing a gale.
Had a walk down at Talland Bay the other day. Quite a few wild edibles on the coastal path. Checked out the trees on the coastal path but not much there for a hang. Plus the horses had been underneath them and it was a bit boggy. Still a beautiful place though.
Blackberries are coming out now so I might make some of that sorbet instead a couple of weeks and the field mushrooms should start too.

Hi TreeCamper, we got a mini haul of plums down at Talland a couple of days ago. Very small this year and not much flavour tbh, I guess that'll be the weather. Whereabouts are you based?
