A raw juice without boiling, where tartaric acid acts as a preserving acid. The book says other berries can be treated the same way, with 30 g tartaric acid for lingonberries.
Steep
Crush the berries and pour over the cold, unboiled water and the crushed tartaric acid. Leave for 24 hours.
Strain
Strain through a double jelly bag and let it hang for 24 hours.
Stir in the sugar
Add ¾ kg light brown sugar for each litre of juice. Stir for 2 hours (the original says til samme kant).
Bottle
Skim, pour into bottles, cork and seal. Note: The juice is raw and not heat-treated. Keep it cold and use it soon, or heat it to at least 85 °C (185 °F) before bottling if it is to be stored.
Measures are converted to modern units. The original's phrase about stirring til samme kant for 2 hours is unclear and rendered as stir for 2 hours. Kim 30 gr. is read as only 30 g.

Note on Modernised
Mål er omregnet til moderne enheter. «Rør til samme kant i 2 timer» er uklar i originalen og gjengis som rør i 2 timer. «Kim 30 gr.» er lest som «kun 30 g».
