soT^s,

one

and

one-half

gallons

water.

Boil

the

water,

skim

it,

and

pour

it

boiling

hot

on

the

fruit

;

let

it

stand

four

or

six

days

p^t

least.

During

that

time

half

of

or

rather

more

some

yeast

on

a

of

bread

(warm)

to

work

it.

When

done

working,

put

a

little

brandy

into

the

cask

and

fill

it

up.

Bung

it

up

close,

and

let

it

stand

six

twelve

months

;

then

bottle

it

off.

This

wine

is

nearer

in

flavor

to

port

than

any

other.

If

made

with

cold

water,

it

will

be

equally

as

good,

but

of

a

different

color.
