The
vessel must not be stopt until it hath done working.
STRAWBERRY WINE
Bruise the Strawberries, and put them into a Linnen-bag which hath been a
little used, that so the Liquor may run through more easily. You hang in
the bag at the bung into the vessel, before you do put in your
Strawberries. The quantity of the fruit is left to your discretion; for you
will judge to be there enough of them, when the colour of the wine is high
enough. During the working, you leave the bung open. The working being
over, you stop your vessel. Cherry-wine is made after the same fashion. But
it is a little more troublesome to break the Cherry-stones. But it is
necessary, that if your Cherries be of the black soure Cherries, you put to
it a little Cinnamon, and a few Cloves.
TO MAKE WINE OF CHERRIES ALONE
Take one hundred pounds weight, or what quantity you please, of ripe, but
sound, pure, dry and well gathered Cherries. Bruise and mash them with your
hands to press out all their juyce, which strain through a boulter cloth,
into a deep narrow Woodden tub, and cover it close with clothes.
