(CHERRY
WINE WITH
HONEY
A
LA
RUSSE.)
Into
a
strong
little
cask,
well
bound
with
iron
bands,
you
fill
ripe
sour
cherries,
so
that
only
about
two
inches
room
is
left;
then
pour
slowly
over
the
cherries
clean,
white,
unboiled
honey
con-
taining
no
particles
of
wax,
and
fill
each
empty
space
between
the
cherries
with
honey.
As
soon
as
the
upper
layer
of
cherries
is
nearly
covered
by
honey,
put
the
cover
tightly
on
the
cask,
bung
and
seal
well
bung-hole
and
lid,
or
best
cover
the
entire
surface
with
pitch
to
prevent
any
air
from
entering;
then
sink
the
cask
in
sand
or
earth
for
three
months;
during
this
time
the
fermen-
tation
is
going
on
;
there
is
great
danger
the cask
might
burst,
unless
it
be
of
very
strong
material.
After
three
months
the
wine
is
filtered,
bottled,
and
is
ready
for
use.
