Yield 1 bottle

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 cups cranberries
3 cups sugar
1 cup gin

Steps:

  • Wash and clean cranberries. Chop coarsely. Place in large (64-oz) screw-top jar. Add sugar and gin. Invert jar for 24 hours. Turn upright for 24 hours. Repeat, turning for 3 weeks. Strain through cheese cloth into bottles with tight-fitting tops. Serve at room temperature. Reserve strained cranberries, cover and refrigerate for a fancy topping on poundcake, muffins, or ice cream.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe cranberries: Look for cranberries that are plump, firm, and have a deep red color. Avoid cranberries that are soft, bruised, or have any signs of mold.
  • Wash the cranberries thoroughly: Rinse the cranberries under cold water before using them to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make the cranberry puree: This will help to create a smooth and consistent puree.
  • Add sugar or honey to the cranberry puree to taste: The amount of sugar or honey you add will depend on your personal preference.
  • Let the cranberry cordial cool completely before serving: This will help to develop the flavors.
  • Serve the cranberry cordial chilled or over ice: You can also add a garnish of fresh cranberries or mint leaves.
