Cordial report

Only one has completed the soaking process. There was less of it and the fruit was starting to disintegrate. This being the pineapple-raspberry. It smells like punch. Like the effervescent tropical punch we served at our wedding because we both hate the lime sherbet goo that is family likes to serve at functions like that. I don't know what it tastes like cause I'm still waiting on the syrup to cool so I can add it. I'm not sure if I care what it tastes like. It smells heavenly. The color is gorgeous, kinda corally. I think it'd make a great starter for sangria.

Vokda
raspberries- frozen
pineapple- frozen

total liquid after soaking- 1 cup

How long should one let raspberries and blueberries sit generally? I'm really not sure. I seem to remember something about berries with seeds making the cordial bitter if left too long... [livejournal.com profile] kaslaania? [livejournal.com profile] krkhst?

Yea for the success! I wouldn't leave the berries in for more than two months. check it after one months to see how they taste.
