Raspberry Brandy
Pick fine dry fruit, put it into a stone jar, and the jar into a kettle of 
water, or on a hot hearth, till the juice will run; strain, and to every pint 
add 1/2 lb. of sugar, give one 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. -----(Old Cookery-Book.)
