From the above source is Cowslip Wine - I & II "This was once made in every household. It was served in the afternoon in fragile wine glasses with thin slices of seed cake. Cowslips are more commonly known as marsh marigolds. As they do not thrive in our immediate neighborhood, we have never made this delicate wine, but it would be an interesting experiment fi you have an abundance of the flowers. I give you a recipe from an old cookbook"
3 pouns sugar
4 quarts water
4 quarts marigolds
rind and juice of 2 lemons
2 Tbl. yeast
1/4 pint brandy
1. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water, bring to a boil, then add the flowers and lemons. Pour into a crock.
2. Spread a piece of toast with the yeast and add to liquid. Cover the crock and allow to stand for 48 hours.
3. Add the brandy, cover and let stand for 8 weeks.
4. Strain and bottle the wine. It will be ready to use in another 3 or 4 weeks.
Cowslip Wine - II
1 qt. cowslip flowers
1 gal. water
3 pounds sugar
1 sprig borage
1 sprig sweet briar (wild rose)
1 Seville orange, rind and strained juice
2 lemons, rind and strained juice
1/4 oz. yeast
Brandy (optional)
1. pick the flowers free of stalks and greens. Spread them out on a trays to dry, turning frequently.
2. Boil water, sugar, borage, and sweet briar for 1/2 hour. Lift them out at the end of the boiling.
3. Put the orange and lemon rund into a tub, pur the boiling liquid over it and allow to cool. Stir in the dry cowslip flowers, the lemon and orange juice, and the yeast. Cover with a cloth and leave undisturbed for 2 days.
4. Turn the mixture out into a cask. Add a little brandy to taste.
5. When fermentation has ceased, bung closely and leave 3 months before bottling. (I'm assuming that "bung closely" means to cover tightly but "bung closely" are the exact words used.)
Again from the above source:
Ella's Dandelion Wine
4 quarts dandelion blossoms

2. Add 3 pounds of sugar, lemons, and yeast cake. Let stand for another 9 days.

1. Crush the cherries, and put them in a jar or keg. Add the boiling water, and allow to stand for 24 hours, stirring once in a while.
2. Strain and meaure liquid. Add the sugar, cover tightly, and let stand for 3 months.
