MISCELLANEOUS

VALUABLE

RECEIPTS.

No.

150.

Gooseberry

Vinegar.

Bruise

the

gooseberries

when

ripe,

and

to

every

quart

put

3

quarts

of

water.

Stir

them

well

to-

gether,

and

let

the

whole

stand

for

24

hours;

then

strain

it

through

a

cloth

bag.

To

every

gallon

of

liquor

add

1

pound

brown

sugar,

and

stir

them

well

together

before

they

are

put

into

the

cask.

Proceed

in

all

other

respects

as

before.

This

vinegar

pos-

sesses

a

pleasant

taste

and

smell;

but

raspberry

vinegar,

which

may

be

made

on

the

same

plan,

is

far

superior

in

these

respects.

The

raspberries

are

not

required

to

be

of

the

best

sort:

still,

they should

be

ripe

and

well-flavoured.

No.

Currant

Vinegar,

This

is

made

in

the

same

way

as

that

from

goose-

berry

:

only

pick

off

the

currants

from

the

stalks.

No.

152.

Primrose

Vinegar,

To

15

quarts

of

water

put

6

pounds

of

brown

sugar

;

let

it

boil

10

minutes,

and

take

off

the

scum

;

pour

on

it

half

a

peck

of

primroses

;

before

it

is

quite

cold,

put

in

a

little

fresh

yeast,

and

let

it

work

in

a

warm

place

all

night

;

put

it

in

a

barrel

in

the

kitchen,

and,

when

done

working,

close

the

barrel,

still

keep-

ing

it

in

a
