Fruit Cordial

[R-sole]

found this on another site and intend to try it with the grandkids this week. We got lots of lemonades, mandarines and oranges.

Fresh Fruit Cordial


900g Sugar (any type you want. So far raw sugar has been the nicest)

500g Fruit (We have used lemon, passion fruit, orange, lime, pineapple, raspberry, blueberry

500ml Hot water

40g Tartaric or Citric acid.

Method:

1. Chop fruit

2. Put sugar into saucepan/pot

3. Add fruit and roughly combine

4. Add water and move pot onto stove top. Stir over a low to medium heat until sugar has completely dissolved (approx. 20 min or so)

5. Allow the mixture to cool and then cover with a tea towel or pot lid and keep in a dark dry place (eg. Cupboard)

6. Strain syrup into bottles

7. Drink and enjoy!


Play around with syrup/water mixture ratios to find what works best for you.

He says to let it sit 3 days stirring twice a day and that if using citrus you can half the acid.

I've brought all the gear to make it down to see the grandaughters. They'll have a blast. :P :mrgreen:


They love it, cause we always do something real interesting that takes ages and costs a bucket to make something you can buy for a dollar 8-)
