Citric acid question
« on: May 28, 2014, 10:52:26 »
Sorry if this has been asked before.  I am trying to use up the glut of last years frozen fruit before this years begins and have jammed and chutneyed so I am now making fruit cordial.  I have been trying to find how much citric acid is needed to preserve the cordials, I don't have fridge space for masses of bottles.  My first small attempt it rhubarb cordial and I only have 500ml of liquid before adding the sugar.  Any help would be gratefully received.  :wave:

In my elderflower cordial I add 55g of citric acid to 3 pints of water - not sure if that works across the board though...
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!
