Quince Wine

This is made by mixing one quart of the juice of quinces with one pound of sugar, and then suffering the liquid to ferment. By adding to the same quantity one pint of the best French brandy and four ounces of sugar, a celebrated liqueur is prepared on the Continent, which used to be greatly prized as a cordial and stomachic when taken in small quantities--say two or three table-spoonfuls at a time.
