Never drink bought cordial again! A great way to use up excess oranges. I found I could mix in a similar ratio as that used for bought cordial however the colour will be a lot paler. This should yield about 850mLs of cordial. Cooling time not included. Ingredients:
3 oranges, juice and zest of (approx 200ml juice needed) |
500 g sugar |
600 ml water |
15 g citric acid |
Directions:
1. Remove the peel from the oranges. Peel thin enough that you don't get any of the white pith.
2. Place in a large saucepan together with the sugar and water. Heat until boiling. Reduce heat to create a fast simmer. Cook at this rate for 10 minutes.
3. Whilst cooking, juice the 3 oranges (about 200mls).
4. After 10 minutes simmering, remove from heat. Add the juice and citric acid; stir well.
5. Leave to cool (about 2 hours).
6. Strain and bottle.
7. To serve mix a ratio of 1:5 cordial to water (ie 40ml cordial to 200mls water).
