Apricots and Elderflowers on a Bed of White Cheese

Every year when the elderflowers are in bloom all over the countryside and even in the middle of the city I marvel at the magical muscat flavour they impart to drinks, sorbets and ice creams. Gooseberry jam with elderflowers is a wonderful old-fashioned combination so I tried the flowers with apricots, both for stewing and for jam; the effect is just as good, if not better.
