Steps:
- Poke 44 1 inch slits all over the orange with the tip of a paring knife. Stuff a coffee bean into each slit.
- Put the orange, sugar and rum in a wide mouthed jar with a tight sealing lid. Place in a cool, dark spot, swirling the jar occasionally, for 44 days.
- Remove and discard the orange. Strain the liqueur through a cheesecloth lined strainer into a clean bottle and store in the refrigerator or freezer. Serve neat or over ice.

Steps:
- Cut 44 holes in the skin of the orange and place a coffee bean in each hole. Place the prepared orange in a 1L jar. If you use a larger jar, you can also add the traditional 44 teaspoons of sugar at this point. Sit 44 days. Every day or two, give the jar a little shake or a turn to let the orange float to the other side and back. Filter into a bottle. At this point I say "sweeten to taste" but here's a tip: I ended up with a little over 550mL of liquid. 44tsp of sugar turns out to be just under 200 grams, so I just filled the bottle the rest of the way with simple syrup and called it good.
BERRY CORDIAL
This is an easy way to make cordial and it's good for gifts! Other berries such as raspberries, strawberries or blueberries may be used in place of blackberries, and rum or brandy may be used in place of the vodka.

Steps:
- Pour the sugar into a 1 quart jar. Fill the remaining space with berries, but do not pack down. Fill the jar with vodka so that the berries are completely covered. Seal the jar. Let the jar stand for 2 months, shaking the jar every week. The sugar should dissolve, and the vodka will become colored.
- Strain the liquid through a metal sieve, and then through a coffee filter to remove the fruit. Pour into pretty bottles. Drink as a cordial, or use it to flavor lemonade or iced tea.

50/50 FRUIT CORDIAL
My mum used to make this all the time when we were kids. I used to make it for my DH who absolutely loved it, but now his diet won't allow him to have it. It can be made with all Lemons or all Oranges, whatever takes your fancy, or whatever you may have an abundance of. Mum's recipe was written in pints and not litres so I have left it this way, but the amount you get depends on the size of the bottles, and when serving you may like to add more or use less cordial pending on your taste.

Tips:
- Use fresh and ripe fruits: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the flavor of your cordial. Choose fruits that are in season and at their peak ripeness.
- Wash your fruit thoroughly: Before using, wash your fruit thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
- Sterilize your jars and equipment: To prevent spoilage, sterilize your jars and equipment before using them. You can do this by boiling them in water for 10 minutes.
- Use a cheesecloth or jelly bag: When straining your cordial, use a cheesecloth or jelly bag to remove any solids. This will give you a smooth, clear cordial.
- Store your cordial in a cool, dark place: Once you have made your cordial, store it in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve its flavor and quality.
Conclusion:
Making cordial is a fun and easy way to enjoy the flavors of fresh fruit all year long. With a little planning and effort, you can create delicious and refreshing cordials that are perfect for any occasion. So next time you have a surplus of fruit, don't let it go to waste - make a cordial instead!
