We have tons of blackcurrants on the bushes this year and I have been thinking of ways to use them up. Last year I made Elderflower Cordial, which was very delicious and I had wanted to make blackcurrant cordial but just didn’t get round to it. So, I was determined to do it this year, and what a treat it is. It is simply diluted with tap water in this photo, but I am going to try it with sparkling water and I think it would be lovely in prosecco. The girls love it too and I am sure that it is much better for them than the bought stuff. I will be making this again and again.
I am not going to put the recipe here as I used this one from The British Larder pretty much word for word so take a look at their blog for how to make this lovely summer treat. It is really worth making.
Fabulous! It’s looking great! The addition of adding prosecco instead of water sounds great. Perhaps an idea we can use here at the British Larder Suffolk for our specials board.
Madalene, thank you for your kind comment and for the lovely recipe. Kath
I’ve never fancied elderflower cordial, but this blackcurrant looks like one I could get into!
In fact a bit of Prosecco and a dash of Archers and I bet you’ve got a delicious cocktail too! 🙂
Ooh yes that does sound good.
Gorgeous. Perfect with Prosecco!
Thanks Michele, come on over and I will get the glasses out.
knock-out color, count me in with Michele.
and, I hadn’t come across your Elderflower Cordial before–Wonderful.
Thank you Nancy. I really enjoyed that cordial, time ran away before I could make it this year though. Definitely next year.
I would like to know how long it keeps in the frdge please
Hi Sarah,
It will last a couple of weeks in the fridge. I hope you enjoy it. Kath
