Raspberry Brandy
Herbal Recipe
Raspberries make a wonderful flavoring for brandy. Make this recipe as strong or weak as you prefer with the brandy. This is a very old recipe, from days when precise quantities were not noted.
Ingredients and Instructions:
Pick fine dry raspberries; place them into a stone jar.
Put the jar into a kettle of water, or on a hot hearth, until the juice starts to run; strain.
For every pint add 1/2 pound of sugar, bring to a boil and skim it.
When cold, put equal quantities of juice and brandy, shake well and bottle.
Some people prefer it "stronger of the brandy" than this recipe states. Simply add brandy to suit your preference.
