For the right flavor the parsnips have to be taken out of the ground in February so this wine is supposed to be made in February.

1 qt. grated parsnips
1 gallon boiling water
2 1/2 lbs. white sugar
1/4 teacup liquid yeast

Put grated parsnips in a stone jar. Pour boiling water over them. Set jar on back of stove where it will keep hot, but will not boil. Leave it there four hours. Strain. Wash jar, then return the liquid to it. Add sugar, stir until dissolved. When lukewarm add yeast. Let stand until seasoned.
