8 qts. fruit
8 lbs. sugar
4 qts. warm water (non-chlorinated)
1 pkg. dry yeast

Dissolve yeast in sugar water. Pour mix over mashed fruit. Stir. Slice one potato and put on top then add a good handful of old fashioned steel cut oatmeal or potato meal over the top of that. Transfer to a large crock with a heavy lid to stand for 28 days, stirring every few days.

Strain and bottle, but do not seal. This recipe is a sure fire, no fail one.
