Georgia on My Mind

This time lapse video from James Biscardi has made me feel especially homesick for Savannah. Luckily a visit there is in the works for September.

Cordially Invited

 

Growing up with red hair, I was bound to find a kindred spirit in Anne Shirley from Green Gables. The series was on constant rotation during my formative years. In fact one of my first on screen crushes, as divulged in an earlier post, was on Gilbert Blythe. There are many classic scenes from the series, but one of the most memorable is when Anne inadvertently "sets Diana drunk" on current wine, which she mistook for raspberry cordial.

Now we can all make our own raspberry cordial with this recipe straight from the Anne of Green Gables Cookbook.

Total Time: 1 hr (Prep time: 35 min; Cook time: 25 min)

Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 2 (300 g) packages frozen raspberries
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 6 cups boiling water
• 3 lemons

Directions

1. Put the un-thawed raspberries into a saucepan and add sugar.
2. Cook on medium, stirring occasionally until all the sugar has dissolved.
3. Using a potato masher, mash the raspberries and syrup thoroughly.
4. Pour the mixture through a strainer, extract all the juice.
5. Squeeze two of the lemons and strain the juice, add it to the raspberry juice.
6. Add the boiling water to the raspberry juice.
7. Allow the cordial to cool, then chill it in the refrigerator.
8. Serve cordial with a thin slice of lemon in each glass.

Et voilà!
