Blueberry Cordial

Directions

1. 1
   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.
2. 2
   Once dissolved, let cool, then steep overnight in the refrigerator. This will get the max flavour from the berries.
3. 3
   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!
4. 4
   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.
5. 5
   KEEP IN REFRIGERATOR.
6. 6
   It makes 1.75 litres which will creat about 12 litres of drink.
