    Blackcurrant cordial

    This recipe was gleaned from a friend and I tried it for the first time last year. I don't use as much sugar as it states so you might want to add it gradually until its sweet enough for your taste. As there is no boiling involved the vit C content remains.


    2lb blackcurrents
    1 pint water

    Put both in a big bowl. Mash the blackcurrants.
    Cover with a clean cloth.
    Leave 2-3 days in a cool, dark place.
    Place the bowl over a saucepan of boiling water, let the mixture warm through and stir well to release the juices.
    Strain through a muslin cloth.
    Measure the liquid and add 12 oz sugar for 1 pint liquid. Heat v. gently to dissolve the sugar.
    Pour the liquid into bottles.
    Keeps 6 weeks in the fridge or can be frozen.

    Enjoy

    I had a go at this last night, Piglet. I'll let you know how I get on. The test will be whether the kids will drink it!
