  • Soft Fruit vinegar Syrup.

    I've been making a lot of this over the last few days, so I thought I'd share the recipe with you all...it's what my late Mum use to make when I was a little Girl. We had it one ice cream, pancakes and we had it as a cough syrup as well when we had a tinkly cough.

    Soft Fruit Syrup Vinegar.

    Ingredient

    6lb of fruit (Blackberries, Raspberries, Strawberries e,t,c) all the same sort.
    3 pints malt vinegar
    1 Kg bag of caster sugar.

    Method

    1. Place washed fruit in a large bowl, pour over the vinegar and cover with a cloth and leave to one side for 5 days. Mash with a potato masher once half way through.
    2. After 5 days, place the fruit and vinegar in a sieve and collect all the liquid in a large pan. Squeeze the fruit to get all the liquid out and discard the fruit.
    3. Add all the sugar to the pan and warm until all the sugar has dissolved.
    4. Once the sugar has dissolved bring to the boil and boil rapidly for 1 minute then turn down to a very slow simmer.
    5. Skim off all the scum and throw it away. Repeat stage 4 until no scum appears on the liquid.
    6. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by a 3rd or until it turns into a syrup. Taste for sweetness, if not sweet enough add more sugar. Cool and bottle in good glass bottles. Will keep for well over a year.

    Enjoy

      I made raspberry vinegar last year but don't like it with malt vinegar, much nicer with white wine vinegar, not so harsh. It makes lovely salad dressings, great on ice cream or diluted to drink.

      Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

      Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
