Strawberry Wine

Mash the berries and add to each gallon of fruit a half gallon boiling water. Let it stand twenty four hours, then strain and add three pounds brown sugar to each gallon juice. Let it stand thirty six hours skimming the impurities that rise to the top. Put in a cask reserving some to add as it escapes from the cask. Fill each morning. Cork and seal tightly after the fermentation is over.--Mrs. E.
