Episode 49: Blackberries and Lavender | Making, Baking and Painting

Welcome to another mousiemakes podcast! You are very welcome here. Today is mostly about blackberries and lavender: I go blackberry picking, harvest some lavender from my garden, then take you into the kitchen to make blackberry cordial and a delicious blackberry and apple cake (see recipes below). And I also bring you up to date on my latest craft projects.

Yuletide crocheted blanket by Lucy of Attic24 - https://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/yu... Recipe for Blackberry Cordial: 1. Cook 500ml blackberries and 2 tbsp water in a pan for 10-15 minutes. 2. Line a sieve with muslin and strain the fruit, collecting the juice in a jug or bowl. 3. Put the juice into a pan and add 100g sugar and place over a gentle heat until the sugar has dissolved. Do not bring to the boil. 4. If you’d like your cordial to last more than about a month, add half a teaspoon of citric acid. 5. Store juice in sterilised bottles in the fridge.
