Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh cranberries: The quality of your cranberries will greatly impact the flavor of your cordial. Look for cranberries that are plump, firm, and deep red in color.
  • Prepare your cranberries properly: Before using your cranberries, be sure to rinse them thoroughly and remove any stems or leaves.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits: The combination of citrus fruits in this recipe adds a bright, tangy flavor to the cordial. Feel free to experiment with different types of citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, or limes.
  • Simmer the mixture for the right amount of time: The simmering process is essential for extracting the flavor from the cranberries and citrus fruits. Be sure to simmer the mixture for the full 15 minutes, or until the cranberries have softened and burst.
  • Strain the mixture thoroughly: After simmering, it's important to strain the mixture thoroughly to remove any solids. This will give you a smooth, clear cordial.
  • Store the cordial properly: Once you've made your cordial, store it in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator. The cordial will keep for up to 2 weeks.
