English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3360 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Mash the berries in a stone bowl, put in a large jar for two days and then strain through flannel without squeezing.
Bottle, cork and seal with resin. Keep on ice until freezing weather, then in a dry cellar.
The juice may later be cooked into syrup as required.
Historical editorial note: Two days of holding unprocessed fruit and subsequent bottling are not validated safe preservation methods.
