TO MAKE PALERMO WINE Take to every quart of water i pound of Malaga raisins, rub and cut the raisins small, and put them to the water, and let them stand 10 days, stirring once or twice a day. You may boil the water an hour before you put it to the raisins, and let it stand to cool. At ten days' end strain out your liquor, and put a little yeast to it; and at three days' end put it in the vessel, with one sprig of dried wormwood. Let it be close stopped, and at 3 months' end bottle it off. 234. TO MAKE PEACH WINE Take 3 gallons cold soft water, 4% pounds refined sugar, I pound honey, ^ ounce white tartar in fine pow der, 10 or 14 peaches. Ferment; then add six quarts of brandy. The first division is to be put into a vat, and the day after, before the peaches are put in, take the stones from them, break these and the kernels, then put them and the pulp into a vat and proceed with the general process. <—X-
