to have Grapes to grow long upon the Vines DO thus put a Vine Branch through a Basket in December chuse such a one as is like to bear Grapes fill the Basket with earth and when the Grapes are ripe cut off the Branch under the Basket keep the Basket abroad whilst it is warm weather and within doors in cold weather Another way is this to have them grow late Towards cold weather you may cover with Horse Dung or Flax but I think Flax the best all the stalks of the Vines even to the bunches of Grapes covering the bunches themselves with straw or put them in Glasses and so you may happen to have Grapes growing on the Vines at or near Christmas How to preserve bunches of Grapes very long When the Grapes are ripe and before the Frost hath taken them in the new Moon gather as many of the fairest bunches as you would keep and having knocked some nails or hooks into a Box or Chest-lid with some thread hang some bunches thereon so that they touch not one another and shut down the lid close that no aire come at them and set them in a room wherein is usually kept a fire and when you would use them plump them in a little warm water Another way If you cut a large Branch of the Vine which hath one two or three clusters of Grapes on it and at each end of the cutting thrust onely the Branch whereon the bunches grow in a sound and lasting apple and so hang it up To keep Claret Wine or any Wine good nine or ten Years At every vintage draw almost every part out of the Hogshead and then rowle it upon his Lees and after fill it up with the best new Wine of the same kinde you can get To separate Water from Wine To separate Water from Wine put into the vessel of Wine melted Allum and after stopping the mouth of the said vessel with a spunge drenched in oyl turn the mouth of the vessel so stopped downwards and so the water onely will come out or Cause a vessel of Ivy Wood to be made and put therein such quantity of Wine as it will be able to hold the water will come forth presently and the wine will abide pure and neat Some do use presently to change the Wine so watered and to draw it out into another vessel and then to put a pint and a half of salt to every fifteen quarts of Wine Others do boil the Wine upon the fire so long until the third part be consumed and the rest they use three or four hours after How to make Spirit of Wine This of all vegetables is the most precious thing and also the truest of all Cordials as we shall hereafter show and is thus made Take of good white Claret Wine or Sack which is not sowre nor musty or otherwise corrupt that quantity which may serve to fill the vessel wherein you make your distillation to a third part then put on the head furnished with the nose or pipe and so make your distillation first in ashes drawing about a third part from the whole as for example six or eight pints out of four and twenty then still it again in B. M. drawing a third part which is two pints so that the oftner you still it the less liquor you have but the more strong some use to rectifie it seven times How to make good Vinegar Take as much Wine as you see good either white or red and cast into it Salt Pepper and sower leaven mingled together afterwards heat red hot some tyle or gad of Steel and put it hot into the Wine Or In like manner a Radish-root a Beet-root or a shive of Barley bread new baked put in Wine and it being set forth in a Glass in the Sun or in the Chimney corner to the heat of the fire will make good Vinegar in a short time which to make better you may infuse in it the leaves of Red Roses or put in the Juice of Mints and Centry To make Vinegar with your corrupted Wine Take your marred Wine and boil it and take away all the scum that riseth in boiling thus let it continue on the fire till it be boiled away one third part then put it up into a vessel wherein hath been Vinegar putting thereto some chervile cover the vessel in such sort that there get no air into it and in short time it will prove good and strong Vinegar To make Verjuice of Grapes Take of your Grapes before they be quite Ripe as many as you please beat or bruise them and press out the juice and put it into some small vessel that so you may fill it let it stand to settle and work a pretty while and you have an excellent Verjuice for to sharpen your sauces and provoke or whet the appetite FINIS Books newly Printed for William Crooke at the three Bibles on Fleet-bridge 1665.
