Plum Cordial

We’re not really cordial drinkers in the Delicious Everyday house. In fact, the last time we had cordial was when I made Lemon Cordial last year.  While I usually only drink water or tea I felt like a change. So when I was browsing for plum recipes the other day and saw this beautiful Blood Plum Cordial recipe on Gourmet Traveller I knew I had to make it.

Making this cordial the house filled with the most amazing plummy aromas, reminiscent of jam making, but thankfully so much easier.  And it’s quite beautiful too, the syrup has deep blood red colour, similar to red wine, when finished.

Enjoy this beautiful plum cordial with water, with lemonade, or with sparkling mineral water and a squeeze of lime. Add a little if you want a subtle plum flavour and add more if you want more of that delicious plumminess.  It’s also a great mixer for cocktails. Try it with a little vodka, or even with some gin. It’s also lovely to add a small quantity to a glass of champagne.

Delicious, easy and a great way to use the beautiful plums that are in season at the moment. What more could you ask for?
