Homemade raspberry cordial is, of course, what Anne of Green Gables thought she was serving to her friend (who then became very, very tipsy on Marilla’s raspberry wine!).
Don’t worry, this raspberry cordial recipe won’t leave you light-headed. It is wonderful stuff though, and worth growing a raspberry patch for. Make homemade raspberry cordial at your place, and you’ll wonder why you haven’t before. Your kids will love you for it.

If you have lots of raspberries available, make a double batch, because in this concentrated form it will keep for months in the freezer.

Ingredients
- 500 g Rasberries Fresh or frozen
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 2 Lemons
Instructions
-
In a saucepan add sugar to raspberries and cook until soft and the sugar is dissolved. Add the strained juice of 2 lemons.
-
Strain through cheesecloth in a sieve.
-
The mix will need plenty of dilution for drinking but can be stored frozen in its current state (put it in a small, sealed freezer container) and thawed as needed.
-
Usually this amount of concentrate will need 4 cups or more of water added to it, and some people prefer it more dilute than that. Experiment with the amount of sugar – you may be able to gradually reduce it further without anyone noticing!
