Ingredients

  • 250 g Fresh Raspberries
  • 2 Oranges zest and juice
  • 1 Lemon juice only
  • 350 g Caster Sugar
  • 500 ml Water

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, the zest and juice of both oranges, and the juice of the lemon. Use a spoon or potato masher to gently crush the raspberries and release their juice.
  • Add the water to the saucepan and bring everything to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally, making sure the raspberries break down and release their colour. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • Once the fruit has softened, strain the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl, pressing down on the fruit to extract all the juice. You can discard the pulp or save it for smoothies or baking.
  • Pour the strained liquid back into the saucepan and add the caster sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Bring the mixture to a simmer again and cook for another 10-15 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly and thicken into a syrup.
  • Once the cordial has thickened and reached your desired sweetness, remove from the heat. Allow it to cool, then transfer to a clean bottle or jar. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
