Blackberry Wine

4 lbs fresh blackberries
3 1/2 cups sugar
3 1/4 cups hot water

Set the berries in a large bowl for about 4 weeks, stirring occasionally.
The berries may smell and may begin to mold.
With a mortar and pestle, crush the berries till you have a very smooth pulp.
Stir in sugar and water.
Pour into casks for fermenting it.
Let the wine age for atleast 8 months.
Air the wine every few days to allow the gases to escape.
The longer the wine is kept, the better it'll be.
