    Currant Wine

    List of Ingredients




    Currant Wine

    Those who had more currants than money often made this beverage and used no other wine.

    Prepared currant juice
    3 ½ lbs. sugar for each 2 quarts of currant juice

    Break and squeeze the currants in a cloth for clear juice. Mix sugar and water with juice proportionately and put in a keg or barrel. Do not close the bung tight for 3-4 days
    that air may escape while it is fermenting. After it is done fermenting, close it up tight.

    Where raspberries are plenty, it is a great improvement to use half raspberry juice and half currant juice.

    Addition of brandy is not necessary when the above proportions are used. The wine should not be used under a year or two as age improves it.
