Guest guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Here in Australia and also in the UK and New Zealand, cordial is a non-alcoholic sweet fruit flavoured concentrate which is diluted with water (or sparkling water) for drinking. Berry Cordial 500 g (17 1/2 oz) frozen mixed berries, thawed 2 teaspoons tartaric acid (see Note) 1/2 cup lemon juice 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 cup boiling water l. Place berries, tartaric acid, lemon juice and sugar in a heatproof bowl. Add boiling water. Stir until sugar has dissolved. 2. Strain through a sieve, pressing with the back of a spoon, into a large, heatproof jug. 3. Pour into hot, sterilised bottles and seal. 4. Refrigerate until chilled. 5. To Serve: Use 1/3 cup cordial to 1/3 cup chilled sparkling mineral water or iced water. Serve with frozen raspberries. NOTE: Tartaric acid is a plant-derived preservative that prevents sugar crystallising and enhances flavour. Makes 3 cups of cordial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
