STRAWBERRY PUNCH
Stem one quart of ripe strawberries, crush them with half a pint of raspberries, and strain the juice through a sieve. Make a syrup with two cupfuls of sugar and one and a half cupfuls of water. Mix with the juice and syrup a large glass of port wine and keep on ice for several hours. Serve in small glasses with lady-fingers.

CURRANT WATER
One pound of ripe red currants, half a pound of lump sugar, half a pound of granulated sugar, and six cupfuls of water. Stalk and pick over the currants, then mash them with a wooden spoon, adding as you do so one cupful of water. Now put the fruit into a preserving-pan with the granulated sugar. Stir it over the fire until it begins to simmer, then rub it through a sieve. Put the lump sugar into a saucepan with one and a half cupfuls of boiling water; let the sugar dissolve slowly, then boil it to a syrup; pour this onto the fruit juice, adding one and a half pints more water. Serve cold.
