RASPBERRY CORDIAL.
Reading edition
To each quart of ripe red raspberries, put one quart of best French brandy; let it remain about a week, then strain it through a sieve or bag, pressing out all the liquid; when you have got as much as you want, reduce the strength to your taste with water, and put a pound of powdered loaf sugar to each gallon--let it stand till refined. Strawberry cordial is made the same way. It destroys the flavour of these fruits to put them on the fire.
