Blackcurrant Cordial Advice please
Susiebelle:
about four weeks ago I made rather a lot of Blackcurrant Cordial, using a recipe from this site, added sugar to some bottles left others unsweetened. I boiled sealed bottles in a water bath for 20 minutes. Am I mistaken in the belief that this cordial now has a shelf life? I could not sleep last night and started thinking of botulism and all sorts. Can any one advise?
Grateful for any help I can get?
Susiebelle:
Can no one help me? should I just through the whole lot away?
manicscousers:
I've no idea as I freeze mine but there is a lot of help if you look up preserving cordials , some good blogs :happy7:
Digeroo:
I should have thought that the sweetened one might be ok, but would be very wary of the unsweetened batch. I would be very cautious. I tend to rely on my nose and the colour. If it has gone winey, mouldy, cloudy or dark in colour, again I would be very wary.
It is impossible to make a recommendation. No one wants to feel responsible if things go wrong.
Susiebelle:
Many thanks, I do appreciate your point Digeroo, coundn't find anything on search engine will try again. Me thinks the unsweetened will be poured down sink.
Thanks again
