How to Make Blackberry Cordial Spirits

  1. Combine 4 cups of blackberries, 2 cups of water, and 1 cinnamon stick, 2 whole cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon of allspice in a saucepan.
  2. Simmer gently for 20 minutes, then mash the berries slightly to release more juice.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer into a clean saucepan, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard solids.
  4. Return the strained juice to the saucepan. Add 2 cups of sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, skimming off any foam that forms.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of brandy.
  7. Allow the cordial to cool completely.
  8. Once cool, carefully pour into sterilized bottles and seal tightly with corks.
