A historical recipe

Aunt Daisy's Cookery Book 1953, by Aunt Daisy (Maud Basham) (1953).

From an old book: a historical recipe, not current advice. Its methods, additives and storage may be unsafe by today's standards.

  • Home canning. Old canning methods can let botulism through. Use current tested canning guidance.

Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. 1 cup water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Pick berries off stalks, put in pan with 1 cup water to keep from burning.
  2. Bring to scalding point till grapes mash up well.
  3. Strain twice through muslin to make clear.
  4. Bring to boiling heat, and have bottles and corks hot.
  5. Pour boiling juice into bottles, cork tightly, press corks in flat.
  6. Dip tops in hot wax to seal thoroughly.
