 Posted: Thu May 03, 12 6:13 pm Post subject: Rhubarb Cordial (Rhubeena) |
 
|
Rhubarb - chopped
Granulated sugar
Place prepared rhubarb in a pan.
For every Kg add 100mls water
Bring slowly to the boil.
Cook gently until the fruit is really pulpy
Tip fruit into a scalded jelly bag and leave to drip overnight
Measure the resulting juice - for every litre of juice add 700g sugar (or to taste)
Heat gently to dissolve sugar then pour into clean sterilised bottles leaving a 1cm gap at the top.
Seal when hot
This cordial will keep for several months if kept in a cool place. |

Looks nice but I imagine it being quite "sharp" / bitter. I have some rhubarb growing though, I may try this. |

I recently made rhubarb granita (I think it was a James Martin recipe on the BBC site). Actually tastes quite creamy (I left out the orange). Very yummy stuff. |
