Delicious recipes for red velvet cakes, cupcakes, and cheesecakes.


3 pounds currants, white or red
1 pound raspberries
1 pound sour cherries
sugar, see below
Mash the fruits together and let them stand in a warm place for a day.
Strain the juice into a nonreactive pan, and add 4 cups of sugar to each 2 1/2 cups of liquid. Place over low heat or inside a pan partly filled with simmering water and stir to dissolve the sugar.
Cool the syrup, then skim it, pour it into bottles and cork them tightly.
To use in drinks, add several tablespoons to glass and fill with cold water or sparkling water and ice.
NOTE: This syrup can be refrigerated for about a month, but must be used within two weeks after a bottle is opened.
