To make Currant Wine.

To 12 Pounds of Fruit ^{with ye stems}put 1 Gallon of
Water. Bruise & squeeze the Pulp as dry
as you can with your Hands. Then strain it & put in 6 Pounds of fine powder
sugar. Then strain it again into a Tub
with a Tap . Stir it well together that
the Sugar may be well mix'd. Let it stand
5 or 6 days. Then draw as much off as
will run fine. put it into your vessels
with a Quart of Brandy. Strain the foul
parts thro' a flannel Bag. Fill your
Vessel quite full that you may take off
the Head with a Spoon. Then fill it again
as long as it rises. When it has done
rising stop it for a Year & then bottle
it. ___________________ Use Wine Measure
