Blackberry Wine
- Ripe blackberries
- Brown sugar
Fill a large stone jar with the ripe blackberries and cover it with water. Tie a cloth over the jar and let it stand for 3-4 days to ferment.
Mash and press the blackberries through a cloth. To every gallon of juice, add 3 pounds of brown sugar.
Return the mixture to the jar and cover closely. Skim it every morning for more than a week until it clears from the second fermentation. When clear, pour into a demijohn. Cork tightly and set in a cool place. When it is 2 months old, it will be fit for use.
