My Mulberry's Cordial
Each year our weeping mulberry gives many fruits in April. I thought it's a shame not to take advantage of these delicious berries and syrups and soft drinks to have during the summer.
Fruit Harvesting
The first step is to collect the berries of the tree; advise the use of latex gloves to keep your hands clean (the fruit juice loose an outrageous as to dyeing!)
Already Started the Preparation of Syrup
This step is to extract the juice of the berries; why after rinsing properly if any, was weighed and added 20cl. of water per kilo of fruit. Below boil.
Pressing the Fruit
Now it comes to squeezing fruit to extract the most juice. For this I use a pass puree and Chinese as a sieve.
Insist on a Good Juicing
this is to insist recover as much juice as possible
Penultimate Step: Weighing and Juice Concentration
will now weigh the juice and add the sugar at 700gr. of sugar per liter of juice extracted
Finally: the Elaboration of the Cordial
for the elaboration of the syrup itself, seethe m'lange the juice / sugar over low heat for 5 minutes.
