Homemade Raspberry Non Alcohol Cordial Recipes

RASPBERRY CORDIAL

Steps:

• Put the raspberries in a pan with the sugar and vinegar. Mash over a low heat for 10 mins until smooth and syrupy. Rub through a sieve into a clean pan.
• Tip the seeds from the sieve into a bowl and stir in 300ml water, then sieve again to remove the last of the pulp from seeds. Pour the liquid into the pan with the sieved pulp, stir well and boil for 1 min. Pour into small sterilised bottles and seal. The cordial will keep unopened for a few months. Once opened, store in the fridge.

HOMEMADE RASPBERRY LIQUEUR

Steps:

• Pour raspberries into a large jar and cover with sugar. Pour vodka over all and close with lid.
• Shake several times the first day until all of the sugar has dissolved.
• Store in a cool, dark place for a minimum of one month (I recommend 6 weeks, longer is fine too). Shake every day or two.
• When the liqueur is ready to be bottled, line a strainer with a couple of layers of cheesecloth, preferably butter muslin and place it over a large pot or bowl. Pour the liquor over the cheesecloth slowly letting the liquid drain while the strainer catches the solids. Repeat if necessary.
• When ready, store in bottles. I like to keep one in the fridge for an icy after dinner drink!

HOMEMADE RASPBERRY LIQUEUR

Steps:

• Split the bottle of vodka evenly between the two mason jars.
• Add one bag of frozen raspberries to each jar.
• Add 1 cup of sugar to each jar.
• Put the lid on the jar and store in a cool dark place for at least a week to a couple of months, giving it a shake every once in a while. The longer you leave it, the better it will be.

HOMEMADE RASPBERRY NON ALCOHOL CORDIAL

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the berries in a strainer pour into a large bowl and set aside and cover with plastic wrap.
• 2. Place 12 cups of cold water in a large pot add the sugar and place on the stove over medium heat and heat the water and sugar to boiling stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar, about 10 or 15 minutes.
• 3. Unwrap the bowl with the berries and add the lemon juice and stir till all berries are covered, then pour the hot water in the bowl with the berries.Stir it but don't stir to the point where the berries become mash. Just enough to move them around in the water. Cover the bowl again with plastic wrap and set aside in a cool dark place to cool for 12 hours. After the 12 hours place in the fridge for another 24 hours so as to let it blend.
• 4. After the 24 hours strain the berries with a fine mesh strainer or triple cheese cloth. Now at that point you can throw away the berries or save them for other recipes or freeze them for desserts later. Once straining is done just use a kitchen funnel to bottle the cordial or pour into gallon jugs or pitchers whatever you prefer. This cordial can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 month. Note: I'm not sure how many servings you can get but I came up with a gallon and plus some. Enjoy!
