1st day blogging

I can't believe I am blogging and I did it all on my own. WOOHOO!

OK... cordials. I took a class on cordial making in November and now I am inthralled and consumed by VODKA and FRUIT!

I started my 1st qt. raspberry cordial Nov. 19th. I tasted it last saturday. WOW. I made a pear/cinnamon one as well. They are "turning" out better than expected.

I made a cranberry one on Tuesday.... it started turning south in 24 hours. Bubbles are bad! Had to take it to the cordial (and fabulous teacher) " Chemist", Trish. Turns out, it started to turn because i did not cut the berries in 1/2 and there was more fruit than VODKA! Not to mention, they are loaded with water. Water is another reason for turning into champagne not cordial

I made a gallon of orange cordial last night. Checked it today. No bubbles and it tasted wonderful.

Cordial is the old time way of using what we do now as... Liqueurs

I forgot to date yesterday masterpiece in the making.

By for now.
