Gather the raspberries when ripe, husk them and bruise them; then
strain them through a bag into jars or other vessels. Boil the juice,
and to every gallon put a pound and a half of lump-sugar. Now add
whites of eggs, and let the whole boil for fifteen minutes, skimming
it, as the froth rises. When cool and settled, decant the liquor
into a cask, adding yeast to make it ferment. When this has taken
place, add a pint of white wine, or half a pint of proof spirit to
each gallon contained in the cask, and hang a bag in it containing an
ounce of bruised mace. In three months, if kept in a cool place, it
will be very excellent and delicious wine.
171. MULBERRY WINE.
On a dry day, gather mulberries, when they are just changed from
redness to a shining black; spread them thinly on a fine cloth, or on
a floor or table, for twenty-four hours; and then press them. Boil a
gallon of water with each gallon of juice; putting to every gallon
of water, an ounce of cinnamon bark, and six ounces of sugar candy
finely powdered. Skim and strain the water when it is taken off and
settled, and put to it the mulberry juice. Now add to every gallon of
the mixture, a pint of white or Rhenish wine. Let the whole stand in
a cask to ferment, for five or six days. When settled, draw it off
into bottles, and keep it cool.
