Gooseberry Wine

Ingredients

• every gallon of water
• six pounds of green gooseberries
• three pounds of lump sugar

Method

1. 1

   To every gallon of water allow six pounds of green gooseberries and three pounds of lump sugar.

2. 2

   This wine should be prepared from unripe gooseberries, in order to avoid the flavour which the fruit would give to the wine when in a mature state.

3. 3

   Its briskness depends more upon the time of bottling than upon the unripe state of the fruit; for effervescing wine can be made from fruit that is ripe as well as that which is unripe.
