Welch's Raspberry Juice Cocktail Concentrate
What it is
This is a concentrated fruit juice product made from raspberries. It is a blend of raspberry juice and other fruit juices, sweetened and then concentrated to reduce water content. This process intensifies the flavor and makes it suitable for dilution into a beverage or for use in cooking and baking. It is a shelf-stable product that requires refrigeration after opening.
How people cook with it
This concentrate is versatile, perfect for refreshing drinks or adding a fruity element to your favorite recipes.

To make a beverage, simply mix the concentrate with water according to the package directions. The ratio will vary depending on your desired sweetness and flavor intensity. Beyond drinks, it can be incorporated into baked goods like cakes and muffins to impart a raspberry flavor and moisture. It also works well as a base for homemade sauces, glazes for meats or desserts, or as a flavoring agent in frozen treats. Experiment with different dilutions to find your perfect taste.
