Berry cordials and syrups

Berries are the most popular versions of these liquids in my house, either as single fruits or a mixture of whatever odds and ends we have, but we also use cherries, plums or rhubarb. Make a batch with whatever is in season when the previous batch runs out! Dilute the cordial with water – or add a dash to cocktails – for a fruity drink, and use syrups to drizzle over ice cream, pavlova or other puddings.
