dear diary,
Recently I came across a recipe for some strawberry cordial. As we are in the middle of this year’s strawberry season and I love cordials I thought why not try and make some.
I am loving the result and thought I must absolutely share this very easy peasy recipe with you, my dearest loop-di-loop-makers.
So here goes…
Strawberry Cordial
You will need:
1kg strawberries, destalked and roughly chopped
1kg granulated sugar
600ml red wine vinegar
How To:
Put the strawberries and sugar into a large bowl. Stir to combine and leave to macerate in the fridge for 3 days, stirring every 12hours (or there about).
Next: Pour everything into a large pan, stir in the vinegar and heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Then bring to the boil for 1 min, leave to stand for 10 min.
Next: Strain the mixture through a muslin cloth, discard the fruit and pour liquid into sterilised bottles and seal.
Dilute with sparkling water for every day drinking or with champagne for a special occasion.
Once opened, it will keep in the fridge for up to a month.
Enjoy!
