Blackberry Cordial Drink Food

HOMEMADE WILD BLACKBERRY CORDIAL

Steps:

• Add Fresh Blackberry (1 kilogram), 1 Tbsp of Lemon (1/2), and Caster Sugar (800 gram) to a large saucepan, mix well. Cover and leave the fruit at room temperature overnight.
• Place the saucepan on low heat for 3 minutes to gently warm up the blackberries without boiling. Stir often until the sugar has dissolved entirely and has developed a nice deep blackberry flavor to the juice.
• Switch off the heat and carefully pour out 80% of the juice and set aside. It should be around 350-400 ml.
• Pour the blackberry juice through a sieve, pressing with the back of your spoon to get out as much of the juice as possible.
• Then funnel your cordial into a sterilized bottle and seal.
• To serve, dilute 1 part cordial with 5-6 parts Sparkling Water (to taste) in a jug. Pour over crushed ice with a slice of Lemon (1/2) and Fresh Mint (as needed).

HOMEMADE BLACKBERRY CORDIAL

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.)

BLACKBERRY LIQUEUR

Steps:

• Shake together the water, vodka and sugar to dissolve sugar.
• Gently mix together with the blackberries, taking care not to cut or crush the berries.
• Leave to infuse about 10-12 days until the berries have lost most of their color.
• Pour thru a fine strainer and discard the berries.
• Pour into decorative bottles.

BLACKBERRY CORDIAL

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.
