How To Make Homemade Red Currant Cordial

red currants

water

ginger

orange

white granulated sugar

Place the water and the red currants into a saucepan (do not worry about stems) and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute, and then mash the currants with a potato masher to make a slush.

Turn off the heat and add the orange zest and fresh ginger root. Cover the surface of the mixture with plastic wrap and let it steep for 2 hours.

Remove the plastic wrap and stir in the sugar.

Gently heat the mixture again to dissolve the sugar, but do not boil. Just heat until the sugar has dissolved.

Sieve the mixture into a jug or airtight container. Store in the fridge and use within 3-4 days, or freeze it for 2 months.
