Easy to make refreshing homemade blackcurrant cordial that will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Dilute to taste with still or sparkling water.
Wash the blackcurrants and remove from the stems and place them in a large saucepan. Add the sugar and water, then heat gently stirring until sugar has dissolved.
Continue to cook gently for a few minutes until the blackcurrants are very soft and have begun to burst about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve or coarse sieve lined with muslin. Allow to stand until all the juice has dripped through.
Pour into sterilised bottles. Seal and allow to cool then chill until required
