Making your own fruit syrups or cordials from fresh or frozen seasonal fruit is a great way to preserve the fruit and delivers a delicious, refreshing drink for many weeks. It’s also a great way to use up leftover fruit that has gone soft. This recipe can be made with a variety of fruit. Passion fruit, fresh berries (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries), cherries, etc. all make delicious lemonade flavors.
