Blueberry Cordial
- 4 cups sugar
- 4 cups boiling water
- 3 cups blueberries, frozen
- 4 teaspoons citric acid
- In a large saucepan combine everything. Simmer over medium heat and stir with wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar. Mash the berries as they soften, with the spoon, or a potato masher. I tried an immersion blender which worked ok but the masher was the most effective.
- Once dissolved, let cool, then steep overnight in the refrigerator. This will get the max flavour from the berries.
- Next day, strain into a bottle (clean softdrink is perfect). I used a funnel with a wire mesh strainer over the top, and poured a little at a time. Squeeze the juice from the pulp through the strainer. Set pulp aside - delicious with icecream!
- To reconstitute to a delicious drink, try 1 part cordial to 5 or 6 parts water. This will depend on how sweet you like your drinks.
- KEEP IN REFRIGERATOR.
- It makes 1.75 litres which will creat about 12 litres of drink.
