[jah at twcny.rr.com]

In my research, I found a recipe to make Verjuice.

139.  To make Verjuice.

     Gather your Crabs as foon as the Ker- nels turn black, and lay 
them a while in a heap to Sweat, then pick them from the Stalks, 
blacks,  and rottenefs, then crufh and beat them all to pieces in a  Tub, then make a bag  of  courfe  Hair-cloath  as  big as your Prefs,  and fill it with the crufht Crabs,  then put it into  the Prefs and  Prefs it as long as any moifture will drop out, having a clean Veffel  underneath to re- ceive the Liquor ; then Tun it up in fweet 
Hogfheads,  and to every Hogfhead put half a dozen handfuls of Damask  Rofe Leaves, then bring it up, and fpend it as you have Occafion.
