This is an easy way to make cordial and it's good for gifts! Other berries such as raspberries, strawberries or blueberries may be used in place of blackberries, and rum or brandy may be used in place of the vodka.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 quart blackberries
- 1 quart vodka
Instructions
-
1
Pour sugar into a 1-quart jar; fill remaining space with berries, but do not pack down. Pour in vodka so berries completely covered; seal jar. Let the jar stand for 2 months, shaking jar every week; sugar should dissolve and vodka become colored.

Strain liquid through a fine-mesh sieve, then through a coffee filter to remove berries. Pour into pretty bottles. Drink as a cordial or to flavor lemonade or iced tea.

Pan-Fried Broccoli
This pan-fried broccoli recipe is one I came up with when I was following a specific diet. It's very healthy and my husband asks for it often.
Short Ribs Braised with Mushrooms and Tomatoes
This short ribs recipe slowly braises short ribs with easy-to-find dried porcini mushrooms (for real, ask someone at the fancy grocery store and they'll find them for you!) until they turn into a triumph of fork-tender goodness. I love these short ribs over mashed potatoes, but the rich tomato and mushroom gravy is fantastic over soft polenta as well. I really hope you give this cool-weather wonder a try.
Mini Strawberry Tarts
These are great for family gatherings or parties. All the sweet goodness of strawberry shortcake, but convenient small and individual servings for your guests. This very impressive looking treat will have all your guests begging for the recipe.
