Black Currant Cordial

Mrs. Spence.

To every four quarts of black currants, picked from the stems and lightly bruised, add one gallon of the best whiskey; let it remain four months, shaking the jar occasionally; then drain off the liquor and stran three pounds of loaf sugar and a quarter of a pound of best cloves, slightly bruised; bottle well, and seal.
