Best Blueberry Cordial Recipes

BLUEBERRY CORDIAL

Steps:

• Rinse a heat-proof 2-quart jar with boiling water, drain it, and combine sugar, blueberries and vodka in it. Seal jar tightly and let cordial stand in a cool, dark place, shaking the jar occasionally, for two months.
• Strain the cordial through a very fine sieve, lined with a triple thickness of rinsed and squeezed cheesecloth, into a bowl and transfer it to a decanter. Serve the cordial as an after-dinner drink or with tonic over ice as a cocktail.

BLUEBERRY CORDIAL

Steps:

• In a large saucepan combine everything. Simmer over medium heat and stir with wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar. Mash the berries as they soften, with the spoon, or a potato masher. I tried an immersion blender which worked ok but the masher was the most effective.
• Once dissolved, let cool, then steep overnight in the refrigerator. This will get the max flavour from the berries.
• Next day, strain into a bottle (clean softdrink is perfect). I used a funnel with a wire mesh strainer over the top, and poured a little at a time. Squeeze the juice from the pulp through the strainer. Set pulp aside - delicious with icecream!
• To reconstitute to a delicious drink, try 1 part cordial to 5 or 6 parts water. This will depend on how sweet you like your drinks.
• KEEP IN REFRIGERATOR.
• It makes 1.75 litres which will creat about 12 litres of drink.

RASPBERRY, BLACKBERRY OR BLUEBERRY CORDIAL

Steps:

• 1. Put unthawed raspberries in a saucepan. Add sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring once in a while, for 20-25 minutes, until berries are thawed and sugar dissolved.
• 2. With potato masher, mash berries and syrup thoroughly. Pour berry mixture into a wire strainer, making sure to extract all the juice by using the back of a wooden spoon to push it through. Discard pulp.
• 3. Pour raspberry syrup into a pitcher. Squeeze lemons and strain juice. Add lemon juice to raspberry syrup. Boil water and add to raspberry syrup.
• 4. Cool raspberry cordial to room temperature, then cool in fridge. When completely cooled add to the vodka and refridgerate again. When cordial is ready to serve, stir well.
