2 quarts blackberries (or strawberries, peaches…just about any fruit will do)
3 cups granulated sugar
1 liter vodka or brandy
Layer berries and sugar in a very large glass jar.
Cover with 1 liter of liquor. Cover lightly with screw type lid.
Allow to sit at room temperature for 6 to 8 weeks, shaking every few days to mix ingredients.
Cordial is ready at the end of 8 weeks but is excellent if saved until Christmas for a Christmas cordial.
Makes about 2 quarts.
