Zubereitung von Berry Cordial
- Combine 4 cups of mixed berries with 2 cups of water in a 6-8 quart pot.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 20 minutes, or until the berries have softened and lost their shape.
- Carefully pour the berry mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer, pressing firmly to extract as much juice as possible.
- Allow the juice to cool completely to room temperature.
- Measure the quantity of juice obtained (approximately 2-3 quarts, depending on berry type and moisture content).
- Rinse the pot thoroughly and return the juice to it.
- Add 2 to 3 cups of granulated sugar (1-1 1/2 cups per quart of juice).
- Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely to room temperature.
- Add 2 to 3 cups of high-quality alcohol (vodka or neutral grain spirit recommended) (1 cup per quart of sweetened juice). Stir well to combine.
- Carefully transfer the cordial to a clean, airtight container (glass is preferred). Allow it to sit for at least 2 weeks, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Enjoy immediately after the two-week resting period, or let it age for 4-6 weeks for an even more complex and nuanced flavor. The longer it ages, the better it will taste!
- For longer aging, ensure that the container is tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dark place.
