From the former Trade me Cooks.
"Blackcurrant Cordial Drink 1•5 Kg blackcurrants, 16 cups water, sugar, up to 1/4 cup liquid acetic acid (available from the chemist). Boil the blackcurrants and water together until soft. Strain overnight, then add an equal part of sugar to blackcurrant juice and boil until the sugar has dissolved. Add the acetic acid when cool, then bottle. Dilute with water when ready to drink. posted by pauline64"
Hope that helps. :-))

Sounds just like the recipe my dear late Mother-in-law used to make. She used to tie a muslin bag on to the broom handle, lay it across the bath and place a basin, not metal. underneath to catch the drips from the boiled currants. NEVER squeeze unless you want a cloudy mix. It was absolutely yummy and refreshing. Good luck.
