Blackberry Vodka Cordial Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pt Red Blackberries
- 2 1/2 c. Vodka
- 1 c. Sugar
- 1/2 c. Water
- 1/2 tsp Glycerin (found in drugstores)
Directions
- Put the Blackberries into a large, shallow dish and mash with a fork or possibly potato masher. Transfer the fruit and its juice to a 1-qt Mason jar and cover with the vodka. Seal the jar, shake to mix, and set it aside in a cold, dark place for 6 weeks. Strain the contents of the jar through a fine sieve into a 4-c. glass measuring c.. Throw away the fruit; rinse the sieve and the Mason jar thoroughly. Fit the sieve with a damp coffee filter and strain the flavored vodka back into the jar. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring till the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 min, or possibly till a clear syrup forms. Remove the pan from the heat and cold to room temperature. Add in the cooled syrup and the glycerin to the liqueur. Reseal the jar and shake gently to blend. Using a funnel, divide the liqueur between two 10-ounce decanters. The Blackberry Vodka Cordial should be ready to drink in 2 or possibly 3 days and has a shelf life of 2 to 3 months.
