"The Housekeeper's Friend."
2
Mash ripe currants, strain through a jelly bag, put into a tub and let stand 3 days, skimming it every day. To each quart of juice add 2 pounds sugar and enough water to make a gallon. Fill a cask, leave out the bung until fermentation ceases which is usually from 12 to 15 days. Fill up the cask daily with water. When it ceases to ferment, rack off the wine carefully by a syphon, cleanse the cask thoroughly with boiling water, return the wine to it, stop the hole tight and let stand 4 or 5 months.
