Ingredients

  • 5 pounds Grapes
  • 1 pound Sugar
  • 3/4 quart Water

Instructions

  1. Wash the grapes thoroughly in cold water, weigh allowing 3/4 of a quart of water to every 5 lbs. grapes, boil until the skins and pulp are thoroughly separated and boiled down.
  2. Make a bag of double cheese cloth large enough to hold all the juice that would fill a small bread pan, tie the top tight with a strong cord and hang up on a strong nail so that it can drip into the pan.
  3. Let it drip for 14 hours.
  4. Then add the sugar and boil again 2 minutes.
  5. Get the bottles ready, heat them gradually from warm to hot water and fill with the juice.
  6. Then cork, melt paraffin wax and dip the cork and neck of the bottle into this.
  7. If you buy the grapes when cheap, one bottle will cost you about 6 cents.
