Ingredients for Anne Of Green Gables Raspberry Cordial
- Frozen Raspberries
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 lemons, juiced
How to Make Anne Of Green Gables Raspberry Cordial
- Gently combine the raspberries and sugar in a medium saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to simmer (about 5-7 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the raspberries to soften and release their juices.
- Remove from heat and use a potato masher to gently crush the raspberries, ensuring a good mix of whole berries and purée.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer into a bowl, pressing firmly on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the strained raspberry juice.
- Gradually pour in the boiling water, stirring gently to combine.
- Allow the cordial to cool completely to room temperature. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled. Garnish each glass with a thin lemon slice for an extra touch of elegance.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
