Red Clover Wine
Herbal Recipe
Ingredients:
1 gallon red clover blossoms
10 pounds sugar
1 dozen lemons (cut up)
1 box raisins
5 gallons boiling water
5 cakes (or packages) active dry yeast
Combine blossoms, sugar, lemons and raisins in large stoneware jar.
Pour in the boiling water and stir enough to dissolve the sugar. Cool to lukewarm.
Mix the yeast with a small amount of the lukewarm liquid and add to the jar. Mix well; cover jar with a cloth, tie it down around the top, and let stand for 5 days at room temperature; stir occasionally.
Strain through a double thickness of cheesecloth and pour into glass jugs. Cover tops (balloons are good for this purpose) but do not seal until the wine stops bubbling and is still.
