WHAT

TO

DRINK

juice

may

be

made

not

only

from

all

varieties

of

grapes,

but

also

from

some

other

fruits,

such

as

apples,

pears

and

cherries.

Some

berries

also

yield

excellent

juices.

GRAPE

JUICE

No.

Crush

the

grapes

in

a

clean

kettle

with

a

wooden

spoon

and

put

them

in

a

cloth

sack or

jelly

bag.

Twist

the

sack

or

press

it

until

the

juice

has

all

come

out.

Put

the

juice

in

a

double

boiler

over

hot

water

until

it

steams.

If

a

kettle

is

used,

great

care

must

be

taken

that

the

juice

does

not

boil.

Let

the

juice

stand

in

an

enamel

kettle

for

24

hours

to

settle.

Run

it

through

a

flannel

jelly

bag

and

put

into

clean

bottles.

Leave

space

in

bottle

for

the

liquid

to

expand.

Put

the

bottle

in

a

sterilizer

and

fill

the

sterilizer

with

cold

water

until

within

an

inch

of the

top

of

the

bottles.

Heat

the

water

slowly

until

it

is

nearly

simmering,

take

the

bottles

out

and

insert

clean

corks,

and,

as

a

final

precaution

it

is

advisable

to

dip

the

top

of

the

cork

in

sealing

wax

or

paraffin.

This

makes

a

light

colored

juice.

For

a

red

juice,

the

grapes

may

be

heated

until

just

before

the

boiling

point

as

in

the

first

part

of

the

process.

It

is

not

necessary

to

allow

the

juice

to

settle

but

it

is

much

clearer

if

you

do.
