About This Recipe

"If you are in the Marines and being deployed, I just want to pass on the best darn recipe you'll ever see. First off tho you have to get in good graces with the ships cook cause you're going to need a few things from him. Actually "everything" except the water and sun. Some dude with a love for hooch made this during WWII and it's been pasted down through quite a few overseas trips. Just hang onto your cover when it's done."

Ingredients

• 1 (1 gallon) can white grapes
• 1 (1 gallon) can fruit cocktail
• 1 (1 gallon) can raisins

2. Place on top of the canvas cover on a duece and a half or 5 ton truck.

4. Allow 3 days in the hot ocean sunlight and the motion of the sea waves to bring this recipe to a most delightful disaster.

I am going to have to try this. I wonder if the white grapes should be crushed first? After all, the "grape goodness" is contained by the grape skin. When raisins swell up, the "raisin goodness" is contained by the raisin skins. The best you can say is this is fermented fruit cocktail with grapes and re-hydrated raisins floating in it.
