50 50 Fruit Cordial

---

My mum used to make this all the time when we were kids. I used to make it for my dh who absolutely loved it, but now his diet won't allow him to have it. It can be made with all lemons or all oranges, whatever takes your fancy, or whatever you may have an abundance of. Mum's recipe was written in pints and not litres so i have left it this way, but the amount you get depends on the size of the bottles, and when serving you may like to add more or use less cordial pending on your taste.
