2 gallons boiling water
Juice of 1 lemon
5 lbs. sugar

Directions:
Mash strawberries in a large earthenware crock. Cover with boiling water, add lemon juice and stir briskly for about two minutes. Cover the crock with a clean linen cloth and allow to rest in a cool, dark place. Stir daily for one week.
After seven days, use a double layer of cheesecloth to strain the strawberry mixture into a clean bowl, discarding the pulp. Combine the strawberry liquid with sugar and stir, then pour into a clean crock and allow to stand for an additional week, stirring daily.
At the end of the second week, pour the liquid into 1 gallon glass bottles and cork loosely. Let the bottles sit in a cool, dark place for three months. Once the wine is clear and no longer bubbling, pour it into individual wine bottles, cork and age at least 1 year before drinking.
