2277. Blackberry Wine.

Gather the fruit when ripe, on a dry day. Put into a vessel, with the
head out, and a tap fitted near the bottom; pour on boiling water to
cover it. Mash the berries with your hands, and let them stand covered
till the pulp rises to the top and forms a crust, in three or four
days. Then draw off the fluid into another vessel, and to every
gallon add one pound of sugar; mix well, and put it into a cask, to
work for a week or ten days, and throw off any remaining lees, keeping
the cask well filled, particularly at the commencement. When the
working has ceased, bung it down; after six to twelve months it may be
bottled.

2278. Black or White Elderberry Wine.

Gather the berries ripe and dry, pick them, bruise them with your
hands, and strain them. Set the liquor by in glazed earthen vessels
for twelve hours, to settle; put to every pint of juice a pint and a
half of water, and to every gallon of this liquor three pounds of good
moist sugar; set in a kettle over the fire, and when it is ready to
boil, clarify it with the white of four or five eggs; let it boil one
hour, and when it is almost cold work it with strong ale yeast, and
tun it, filling up the vessel from time to time with the same liquor,
saved on purpose, as it sinks by working. In a month's time, if the
vessel holds about eight gallons, it will be fine and fit to bottle,
and after bottling, will be fit to drink in twelve months.

Put warm milk into a bowl, turn it with a little rennet, then add some

curd.

2281. A Nightcap For Travellers.

Take your pocket handkerchief, and laying it out the full square,
double down _one-third_ over the other part. Then raise the whole and
turn it over, so that the third folded down shall now be underneath.
Take hold of one of the folded corners, and draw its point towards the
centre; then do the same with the other, as in making a cocked-hat, or
a boat, of paper. Then take hold of the two remaining co
