DAMSON,

OR

BLACK

CHERRY WINE

Damson,

or

Black

Cherry

Wine

may

be

made

in

the

same

manner,

excepting

the

ad-

dition

of

spice,

and

that

the

sugar

should

be

finer.

If

kept

in

an

open

vessel

four

days,

these

wines

will

ferment

of

themselves

;

but

it

is

better

to

forward

the

process

by

the

use

of

a

little

yeast,

as

in

former

recipes.

They

will

be

fit

for

use

in

about

eight

months.

As

there

is

a

flatness

belonging

to

both

these

wines

if

bottled,

a

teaspoonful

of

rice,

a

lump

or

two

of

sugar,

or

four

or

five

raisins

will

tend

to

enliven

it.
