  1. Boil together the lemon juice, calves-foot jelly, raisins, sugar, and water.
  2. When cool, add the gallon of cider, then strain with pressure.
  3. Prepare a separate liqueur by macerating the brandy and raisin wine or sherry with cloves, cinnamon, ground ginger, and lemon-peel in equal weights as desired for strength.
  4. Strain that liqueur with pressure, filter clear, and add it to the first liquid.

This is one of the most baroque named miscellaneous compounds in the book and worth preserving on that basis.

Its two-stage construction makes it closer to a compound cup or bottled special than to a quick punch.

Terrington says to vary the strength of the spice maceration as desired.
