Apple Juice in Jugs

Ingredients

• 5-gallon jugs
• apple juice
• paraffin (2 pounds)
• rosin (1 pound)
• lamp black
• gasoline

Directions

1. Heat the apple juice in a kettle to 190°F (88°C).

2. Set the jug in a half-barrel or tub to catch overflow.

3. Fill the jug until the juice flows over the top to remove air.

4. Use a 2-inch wood plug to expel juice for corking.

5. Cork the jug quickly, driving it down ½ inch below the top.

6. Seal the corked jug with a wax made from paraffin and rosin.

7. Stamp the identifying mark on the wax before it hardens.
