Recipe is created for
TM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Really refreshing cordial. Did use white sugar and doubled (after all its Christmas) Glad I have a lemon tree!

I think my lemons may have been sweeter than usual, because when I used the recommended quantity of sugar, the result was undrinkable. I added the juice of another 3 lemons from a different tree, and it was lovely. I will check the sweetness of the lemons and adjust the sugar content accordingly next time! I used raw sugar, and the resulting cordial was gold in colour.

My cordial was very murky too, and after ready comments I cooked it at a higher temperature for a while, but no change. So maybe it's getting too hot? Might try with white sugar next time.

I also found my cordial went a 'murky brown ' , so I trawled the net and discovered a book called Preserves by Pam Corbin.
i found this comment;
it has to come up to 88° – 90° C whilst being simmered, for two minutes, this not only extends the shelf life but transformed the cordial into a paler and brighter fluid.[/b] Now it tasted right,
I would make sure your temperature is correct, you might have to use a thermometer to be exact.
To keep the cordial longer I remember my mum, boiling it in the vacola.
I would consult a vacola preserving book.
