Ygerna Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I have just tried my first batch of Lemon Cordial (currently got a second batch sterilising in the bottles). I made it at the beggining of july and have resisted trying it until today. When I made it I didnt have any white sugar, so used a mix of unrefined caster sugar and light brown sugar. This has resulted in a caramel coloured cordial but it tastes absolutly fab (if I do say so myself ) really zingy with lemon and SO refreshing. I really dont think I will ever buy lemon squash again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Not got access to my books at the moment, but I used the recipe in the River Cottage family cookbook. I'll look it up tonight if no one else does in the meantime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ygerna Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 http://www.aselfsufficientlife.com/simple-lemon-cordial-recipe.html This is the one I used this morning. I did add a bit of citric acid to mine though, keeps it clearer, IMO. Other than that, I just did as states, squeezed the lemons, measured and worked out how much sugar to use. I got about half a litre of juice, and because I prefer my squash on the sharp side, I added about 550g of sugar. I also did the sterilising in the bottle step too.
