Got started on the 'hedgerow' cordial this morning. JJ and I went out to gather a few more bits - got more plums, haw-berries and a few elderberries then went to the park on the way back and found loads of huge brambles! Fantastic - since moving here we've been rather disappointed with the brambles as they just don't seem to do very well - but now we know where there is a great stash. Anyway, following the recipe on the GP forum (2kg of fruit, then 100ml water for soft fruit/300ml for stoned fruit/600ml for hard fruit) I have begun the task. It is now hanging precariously from my kitchen cupboard door as my straining bag is lurking in the depths of the loft. It's going to take hours to drip through so I'll keep you posted.

ooh looks exciting, I'll be interested to see how that turns out.
Very exciting!
We have Mirabelle plums fermenting on our counter for some plum cordial for the winter holidays!
Looks like we both have some goodness in the works. :)
Looking good, nice selection of fruit, should be yummy.
Cordials are on my to do list, and syrups, etc. Picked roships today.
Wow, that looks like it's going to be lovely. Looking forward to seeing the end result!
