TOMATO

BEER

Gather

the

fruit

once

a week,

stem,

wash,

and

mash

it.

Strain

through

a

coarse

Hnen

bag,

and

to

every

gallon

of

the

juice

add

one

pound

of

good

moist

brown

sugar.

Let

it

stand

nine

days,

and

then

pour

it

off

from

the

pulp,

which

will

settle

in

the

bottom

of

the

jar.

Bottle

it

closely,

and

the

longer

you

keep

it

the

better

it

is

when

you

want

to

use

it.

Take

a

pitcher

that

will

hold

as

much

as

you

want

to

use,

for

my

family

I

use

a

gallon

pitcher,

fill

it

nearly

full

of fresh

sweetened

water,

add

some

of

the

preparation

already

described,

and

a

few

drops

of

essence

of

lemon,

and

you

will

find

it

equal

to

the

best

lemonade,

costing

almost

nothing.

To

every

gallon

of

sweetened

water

I

add

one-half

tumbler

of

beer.

TO

MAKE

TURNIP

WINE

Pare

and

slice

a

number

of

turnips,

put

them

into

a

cider-press

and

press

out

all

the

juice.

To

every

gallon

of

juice

add

three

pounds

of

lump

sugar.

Have

a

vessel

ready

large

enough

to

hold

the

juice,

and

put

one-

half

pint

of

brandy

to

every

gallon.

Pour

in

the

juice

and

lay

something

over

the

bung

for

a

week

to

see

if

it

works

;

if

it

does,

do

not

bung

it

up

until

it

is

done

working.
