Anne of Green Gables-Raspberry Cordial Recipe

I have decided in honour of each AoGG book, to write an entry for each in the collection. Today's entry will be a recipe for the Raspberry Cordial Anne shared with Diana . . . or at least what she thought she was sharing . . .

“That’s Awfully Nice Raspberry Cordial, Anne,’ she said. ‘I Didn’t Know Raspberry Cordial Was So Nice.”

• Mix 500g of fresh or frozen raspberries with 500g caster sugar in a saucepan.

• Add three tablespoons of red wine vinegar.

• Heat it gently on the stove whilst mashing it with a potato masher.

• Once it is gloopy and thick then press through a sieve to remove the seeds.

• Add a little water (about 400ml) to swish out the saucepan and to pour over the raspberry pulp in the sieve in order to get as much taste as possible.

• Pour the strained liquid back into the saucepan and bring to the boil for two minutes.

• Pour into a sterilized bottle and store in the fridge for up to four weeks.

ENJOY!
