Recipe for the day

Peach cordial is easily made and has a great flavour, diluted with water. This came about because we were busy making wine and Rebecca said, will you make me some cordials – she doesn’t drink. So this is the first one that Diana tried. Others are under consideration, and whereas we do not have a lot of room for soft fruits, we do have a lot of hedges we can collect from. Based loosely on Jamie Oliver’s recipe, this cordial needs to be boiled in order to stop the yeasts present on the fruit from fermenting the sugar.
