Instructions

  1. Combine one quart of ripe red raspberries with one quart of best French brandy. Let it remain about a week.
  2. Strain the mixture through a sieve or bag, pressing out all the liquid.
  3. Reduce the strength to your taste by adding water. Add one pound of powdered loaf sugar for each gallon of cordial.
  4. Let it stand until refined. Note: it destroys the flavor of these fruits to put them on the fire.
