Mrs Cuthill's Lilly Pilly and Cointreau Honey

Out for a walk the other day, I bumped into an old family friend. While chatting away in her drive way I spied a massive Lilly Pilly tree full of fat little purple berries. We discussed the possibility of making some use of the berries and I was promptly handed a bag to help myself.I returned home to see what I could come with.Here it is.

Mrs Cuthill's Lilly Pilly and Cointreau Honey

What you need......

A bag of Lilly Pilly's
Water 
Some sugar
The juice of one lemon
A good dash of Cointreau

Make it happen......

1. Wash and remove the stalk's from the Lilly Pilly berries

2. Place the berries in a large pot and just cover with water. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minuets until berries are soft and pulpy.


 
3. Line a colander with muslin and sit it in a bowl, pour the berries in and let gravity do the work. The syrup will trickle into the bowl, give it a little time, around an hour. Be sure not to disturb the berries as it will result in a cloudy honey.K
