BLACKBERRY CORDIAL



Blackberry Cordial image

After trying lemoncello, and learning how simple it is to make, in the middle of berry season here, this was inevitable. Blackberries, vodka and simple syrup combined to produce an absolutely delicious nectar. I used what I had on hand, which was 80 proof vodka, and it does freeze. For this reason I suggest using 100 proof vodka. Other than that nothing could be simpler.

Time P15DT15m

Yield 2 1/2 quarts,approximately

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 gallon fresh clean blackberry
1 (750 ml) bottle 100 proof vodka
2 cups water
2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Fill quart jars with blackberries. Pour vodka in to cover berries. Put on the lids and put jars in a cool, dark place and forget about them for 2 to 4 weeks. Then, pour contents through a strainer and reserve liquid. In a heavy saucepan combine sugar and water and bring to boil, long enough to dissolve sugar. When this syrup cools a bit, add to blackberry liquid and stir. Pour liquid into container of choice and put in freezer. When chilled, it's good as is or, as we tried it, in a juice glass with ginger ale. It's indescribably good.

HOMEMADE BLACKBERRY CORDIAL

This one is for adults only. Such a great gift-in-a-jar. You can make raspberry, boysenberry or blueberry cordial by replacing the berries with the ones you want.

Categories     Cocktails

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 c fresh blackberries
3 c brandy
1 1/2 c honey

Steps:

  • 1. Combine berries with 2 c. brandy, steep for 1 week. strain through jelly bag. Add remaining brandy and honey, bottle. (The longer you can let this sit, the better. You might want to have several thicknesses of cheesecloth and some disposable coffee filters around to strain this, and wear rubber gloves -- blackberries will stain your hands, but the resulting beverage is a favorite in our home, poured into a brandy snifter for after dinner enjoyment with some Earl Grey tea. It's also the best thing for an upset stomach.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe blackberries for the best flavor. You can also use frozen blackberries, but fresh blackberries will give your cordial a more intense flavor.
  • If you don't have a cheesecloth, you can use a fine-mesh strainer lined with a paper towel. Just be sure to strain the cordial several times to remove all of the sediment.
  • You can use any type of sugar you like to make your cordial. White sugar, brown sugar, and honey are all good options. If you are using honey, you may need to add a little extra water to the cordial to help it dissolve.
  • Be sure to sterilize your jars and lids before using them. This will help to prevent spoilage.
  • Store your cordial in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to a year.
