No. 3352 — Currant and Cherry Juice
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3352 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Unlike raspberries, these berries are not put into the oven. Rub them in a stone bowl, transfer to a large jar and leave for two days.
Strain through flannel without pressing the berries, pour into bottles and store as described in recipe No. 3349.
The author uses such juices in winter for ice cream or makes syrup from them when needed.
Historical editorial note: Two-day standing and the linked historic storage method can permit spoilage; do not treat as safe modern bottling guidance.
