“Cover the berries with cold water and let boil a few
minutes until done. Then strain, and to every pint of juice
add one pound of granulated sugar. Put back on the fire.
Tie up a little cinnamon, allspice and cloves in a thin muslin

add one-third as much good brandy or whisky as you have
syrup. It is not necessary to seal it.”
