Blackberry wine.

--Over as many quarts as you have berries, pour so many quarts of cold water which has been boiled, bruise the berries well, and let the whole stand for twenty-four hours, stirring it occasionally; strain the juice and put a pound and a half of sugar to each gallon of liquid; stir it until the sugar is dissolved, and put it into a cask with a quarter of an ounce of isinglass to two gallons of liquid; let it remain open until the next day, when it should be bunged. In two months it may be bottled off, and will be found a very pleasant wine.
