Currant Wine
List of Ingredients
Currant Wine
Those who had more currants than money often made this beverage and used no other wine.
Prepared currant juice
3 � lbs. sugar for each 2 quarts of currant juice
Break and squeeze the currants in a cloth for clear juice. Mix sugar and water with juice proportionately and put in a keg or barrel. Do not close the bung tight for 3-4 days
that air may escape while it is fermenting. After it is done fermenting, close it up tight.
Where raspberries are plenty, it is a great improvement to use half raspberry juice and half currant juice.
Addition of brandy is not necessary when the above proportions are used. The wine should not be used under a year or two as age improves it. Recipe
