Unfermented Wine

Ingredients

• twenty pounds of Concord grapes
• three quarts cold water
• four pounds of white sugar

Method

1. 1

   Put them in a three-gallon porcelain kettle; crush well with a potato masher; add three quarts cold water; put on stove and simmer for half an hour after it comes to a boil, then strain through a colander.

2. 2

   Now add one quart of water and strain carefully through a cloth to remove the pulp; then put again into a kettle, add four pounds of white sugar or a little more if the grapes are very acid; now set on stove and let boil up a minute or two after it comes to a boil.

3. 3

   Put up in glass gem jars, let the juice spill a little over the mouth of the gem, when filling; this will drive out the air.
