Old fashioned raspberry vinegar drink

12 Drinks

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3.00 pint Fresh raspberries or 20 oz. pkg. frozen
1¼ cup White vinegar
¾ cup Sugar for each 1 cup juice

Directions

In a large, non-metal bowl, crush berries. Add vinegar. Cover and let stand 24 to 48 hours.

Pour mixture into a dampened jelly bag (cheesebag lined in a colander) over glass bowl so that juice drips into bowl. Do not squeeze bag or force juice through bag.

Measure juice into saucepan. Add ¾ cup sugar for every cup of juice. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil gently for

20 minutes, skimming any foam.

Pour juice into hot, sterilized jars, leaving ⅛" headspace.

Store in a cool dark place.

To serve, mix about ¼ cup juice with ¾ cup soda or ice water or to taste. Makes about 2-⅔ cups juice, enough for 12 drinks.

For a bit of a zip, experiment with Balsamic vinegar to your taste or add to a chilled white wine.
