Tomato Wine

Pick small, ripe tomatoes off the stems, put them in a clean bucket or tub, mash well, and strain through a linen rag (a bushel well make five gallons of juice). Add from two and a half to three pounds brown sugar to each gallon. Put in a cash and let it ferment like raspberry wine. If two gallons water be added to a bushel of tomatoes, the wine will be as good.--Mrs. A. I.
