Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter, tarter flavor than frozen cranberries, and they will hold their shape better in the cordial.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries. Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Let the cordial cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cordial to thicken slightly.
  • Store the cordial in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the cordial for up to 6 months.
  • Serve the cordial chilled or over ice. You can also use it in cocktails or mocktails.

Conclusion:

Cranberry Orange Cordials are a delicious and versatile way to enjoy the flavors of cranberries and oranges. They can be enjoyed on their own, used in cocktails or mocktails, or even as a glaze for roasted meats.
