Weigh the pulp, and put half a pound of it into a bowl. Boil a quarter of a pound of best Carolina rice in a quart of cold water, with two inches of stick cinnamon, and a quarter of a di-achm of green nutmeg. A^Tien the rice is soft, strain the water, and put it aside for a short time. Kub a few lumps of sugar upon the rind of eight fresh lemons, add more sugar to make up a pound and a half, and put this and the strained juice of the lemons with the pine- aj^ple. Pour in three pints of boiling water, and then with two jugs — one in each hand — pour the liquid backwards and forwards from a good height, and continue this for twenty minutes. Add gradually half a bottle of French brandy, half a bottle of madeira, and a bottle and a half of rum, and whilst the spirits and wine are being added keep on pouring the liquid from one jug to another for fully three- quarters of an hour, by which time the punch will be delicately flavoured. Last of all, add the seasoned rice-water, stir it quickly into the pimch, pour the preparation into a bowl with a closely-fitting lid, throw a cloth over this, and leave it in a cool jDlace for eight hours. Strain through a jelly-bag until the pimch is quite bright, then bottle it, and cork securely. Pine- apple improves with keeping. Sufficient for about a gallon of punch.
