This is an easy way to make cordial and it's good for gifts! Other berries such as raspberries, strawberries or blueberries may be used in place of blackberries, and rum or brandy may be used in place of the vodka.

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup sugar
1 quart blackberries
1 quart vodka

Steps:

  • Pour the sugar into a 1 quart jar. Fill the remaining space with berries, but do not pack down. Fill the jar with vodka so that the berries are completely covered. Seal the jar. Let the jar stand for 2 months, shaking the jar every week. The sugar should dissolve, and the vodka will become colored.
  • Strain the liquid through a metal sieve, and then through a coffee filter to remove the fruit. Pour into pretty bottles. Drink as a cordial, or use it to flavor lemonade or iced tea.

BERRY CORDIAL



Berry Cordial image

A recipe from my friend Roy Heflin. Note that the recipe calls for blackberries so as to generate a useful nutritional panel (RZ doesn't have nutritional data for the generic "berries"), but any cane berry (blackberry, raspberry, loganberry, boysenberry, marionberry) as well as blueberries can be used in this recipe, as can a mixture of any of them. Frozen berries work fine, as long as they are not pre-sweetened.

Time P30DT3h

Yield 5 qts, 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 quarts blackberries
1 quart water
5 cups sugar
5 cups vodka

Steps:

  • Put berries in a 6-8qt pot and add water; bring to rolling boil. Reduce to bare simmer and cover for 20 minutes, or until berries lose their shape.
  • Drain and strain through cheesecloth, squeezing out as much juice as possible. Allow to cool to room temperature. Measure quantity of juice.
  • Wash out pot and return juice to pot. Add 1- 1 1/2 cup sugar per quart of juice. Return to the boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-20 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature again.
  • Add 1 cup alcohol (vodka or white brandy) per quart of sweetened juice. (I personally like a mixture of the two, in a 2:1 ratio, as I find this smooths out any imperfections in either alcohol.).
  • Allow to sit for at least 2 weeks before bottling. Can be drunk immediately or allowed to age - it is distinctly better with 4-6 weeks of aging. For longer aging, make sure it is TIGHTLY sealed.

Tips:

  • Use ripe berries for the best flavor.
  • Wash the berries thoroughly before using them.
  • Choose a pot that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients without boiling over.
  • Stir the mixture frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Let the cordial cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator.
  • Serve the cordial chilled or over ice.

Conclusion:

Berry cordial is a delicious and refreshing drink that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up fresh berries and can be made with a variety of different types of berries. Berry cordial is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. If you are looking for a healthy and delicious drink to enjoy this summer, berry cordial is a great option.
