Uses for Elderflower Liqueur
The current issue of Bon Appetit has what looks like a delicious recipe for oranges and cranberries with elderflower liqueur. I went out and bought a bottle of the liqueur for $40 but since the recipe calls for only 3 Tbs, I'll have a lot left over. There are mostly drink recipes for the liqueur on the sites I've visited. Anyone have any yummy food recipes that make use of elderflower liqueur?

here's a yummy-sounding recipe: http://www.food52.com/recipes/13147_raspberries_in_stgermain_mascarpone_custard
It would be good over fresh berries, or in a compote. I have a thought that it might be interesting added to sugar cookies or shortbread, but you may have issues with excessive moisture.
Maybe use some in a pie crust instead of vodka... I'm imagining a lightly floral crust for a very delicately flavored custard pie. Or add it to a sorbet? It might be nice poured over a little vanilla ice cream or added to a caramel sauce.
