I LOVE RIBENA! This was my only craving while I was pregnant! My husband used to think Ribena was made of Ribenaberries – then found out it was made of blackcurrants. I really wanted to make a homemade version for the boys to try, but unfoooortunately I have never seen blackcurrants sold here in Australia, so I had to improvise a bit!
Add blueberries and grapes in bowl.
Mix 5 seconds/Speed 9. Scrape down.
Add sugar and water.
Cook 5 minutes/100 degrees/Speed 2.
Take MC off, and cook a further 12 minutes/Varoma/Speed 2/MC off (use your basket on top of the MC hole in case of splattering).
Strain, and keep chilled in the fridge ready for serving.
To serve, add a few tablespoons per glass of chilled water/carbonated water.
