Mixed Fruit Cordial 1

Ingredients

1 lb. strawberries
1 lb. raspberries
Brandy
1 lb. cherries
½ lb. blackcurrants
Sugar candy

Method

Clean the fruit, put into a basin and stand in a saucepan half-full of water and cover. (A double saucepan can be used instead.) Bring the water to the boil and steam the fruit until the juice flows freely. Strain the fruit through muslin and then pass the juice through a jelly bag. Leave to drip, preferably overnight. Measure the juice and to each pint add half pint of brandy and 2 oz. sugar candy. Stir until the candy is dissolved and leave the mixture covered several days before straining and bottling. Cork securely.
