Ratafia, Gooseberry

Take five quarts of the finest sound ripe goose-berries, a salt-spoonful of cinnamon, the same of mace, six pounds of pounded lump sugar, and a quarter of a pound of bitter almonds. Place these in two gallons of French brandy. Stop it well, and let it infuse during three months. Then press out the gooseberries, and filter the whole through filtering-paper. Store in pint bottles.
