No. 3483 — Wild Strawberry Liqueur
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3483 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Sort fresh wild strawberries, put in a bottle and cover with spirit. Leave for two days in a warm shaded place, then drain.
For ¼ vedro of the strawberry-infused spirit use 3 glasses water that has first stood on the strawberries for two or three days, then been boiled two or three times with 6 pounds sugar.
Historical editorial note: Historic berry-water steeping and combining with spirits do not establish contemporary microbiological safety.
