Made some Blackcurrant cordial in a same way I did the Blackberry last week First time making home made drinks and the difference between shop bought and the home is noticeable meaning homemade on tops.
Do you have a recipe for us to follow? Please!

Just played it by taste. Put about 1lb blackcurrants in the pan use for jam making. Mashed them. Added water and sugar, cinnamon stick, 4 cloves. Boiled for about 30 minutes. Wanted it thick consistency not set like jam. Allowed to cool and bottled it. Think it should be kept in the fridge but I using it every day, so not bothered about that. Diluted abuted 2 thirds water 1 third cordial. I fill empty 500ml plastic water bottle each day. Do find it settles so give it a shake before drinking but make sure top is on or you get what I got the other day, purple spots up my shirt.
Forgot to say to sieve it after cooking.
Made elderberry cordial today in same way as above, we used a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit. it is delicious. Definately on the agenda for next year!
