CURRANT WINE "A drink that

Establishments and become unable
to pronounce truly rural Cur
rant wine is seldom touched by
newspaper men, actors, or board of
trade men, but it has it's hackers.
nevertheless, and it is for them that
this recipe is intended:
Take one quart of currants pre-
pared the same as for currant iell.
and squeeze them until all the Juice
is out. This squeezing is rather
tlrlng, but the daughter of the house
will gladly do it it you put the cur
rants into large bag and tell her
to pretend that the bag is Harold.
Then take the currant juice and add
just enough brandy to give relish
to the mlxture-say one gallon.
Then bottle up and place in the sun
forty-eight hours. Fermentation is
sure to set in sooner or later and
it might be we'll to drink the wine
before this happens. In my house
b Did 1t is never allowed to ferment.
