Berry-Ginger Cider
Transform ordinary cider into a colorful drink with a syrup made of frozen berries spiced with ginger.
Ingredients
-
1 12-oz. pkg. frozen unsweetened frozen red raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries, thawed
-
3 Tbsp. light-colored corn syrup
-
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
-
8 cups (1/2 gallon) apple cider
-
Ice Cubes
-
Fresh raspberries (optional)
Directions
1.
In a blender container or food processor bowl combine berries, corn syrup, and ginger. Cover and blend or process until pureed. Press berries through a fine-mesh sieve; discard seeds.* Transfer to a half-pint jar with lid. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
2.
To serve, combine the berry-ginger mixture with cider in a large pitcher or jug. For an individual serving, add 2 tablespoons of berry mixture to 8 ounces (1 cup) cider. Serve over ice. Top with fresh berries. Makes 8 servings.
Test Kitchen Tip
Because strawberry seeds are so much smaller than other berries, it is not necessary to sieve.
