loganberries, etc. Ready in 3 months. Makes over 1 quart. Rinse and
check berries. Discard any overripe or moldy berries. Place berries
in a large bowl. Crush berries slightly with back of wooden spoon.
Set aside. Warm 2 cups water with sugar in medium saucepan over
moderate heat. Stir continuously til well dissolved and liquid is
just warm. Pour sugar water over berries, stir. Cover with plastic
wrap and refrigerate for one week.
Stir occasionally. After aging in refrigerator, strain through a
fine wire mesh strainer into a large bowl or aging container. Add
alcohol mixture, stir. Cap and let age one month. Strain through
