Instructions

Start by preparing the Grilled Peach Nectar by cutting and pitting 30 peaches, then grilling the halves over medium heat until golden brown. Next, run peaches through a juicer and strain using a superbag. Add white sugar, distilled water, and lemon juice to the strained peach nectar. Taste as you go to make sure it’s not too sweet. Combine completed Peach Cordial with remaining ingredients, then garnish with the fresh blackberries.
