Cherry plum cordial

While catching up on some blog reading, I came accross this post on how to make Cherry plum cordial and I realised that we have these cherry plums growing on trees around our local library so we had a morning of collecting the plums, then an afternoon of making cordial, the smell of the plums cooking down was soooo good!

It made nearly enough cordial to fill a large jar

A couple of spoonfuls in the bottom of a glass, topped up with water, perfect for a summery day, or a bright blustery one, as we seem to be having at the moment
