Cut up apple peelings and cores and cover them with hot water; then remove the coarse stems from about one-third as many elderberries and place them on top of apples, stew and proceed as for any apple jelly.
Allow a gallon of water to each quart of stripped flowers, and to each gallon of water three pounds of sugar. Make a syrup of the sugar and water, skimming well, and pour while boiling hot over the flowers. For each gallon of this liquid add the juice of one lemon and a heaping dessertspoonful "home brewed" hop yeast, stirring thoroughly. Place in an earthen receptacle, cover with a heavy cloth and let ferment three days. Strain and add the beaten white of one egg, stirring it well through the liquid.' Allow for each gallon of wine a little over a pound of raisins, chopping them and placing them on the bottom of the cask, pour over the liquid, close the bung and in six months it will be found ready for use.
