How to make Blackcurrant and Strawberry Cordial

You will need:

250g Blackcurrants

250g Strawberries

250g Caster Sugar

300ml Water

5 tbsp Lemon Juice

Method:

1. Firstly in a saucepan, over a low heat, add your water, lemon juice and sugar and mix until well combined

2. Then add the blackcurrants and strawberries, and simmer over a medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes until the fruit has released juices.

3. Strain through a sieve to remove the pulp. I also sieved through muslin cloth but this is optional.

4. While the juice is still warm, carefully pour into bottles and close. This will help preserve the juice for longer.
