So as the Arabs and the English felt a predilection for sweet preparations, Chileans sympathized immediately declared "good pal sweet."

This nectar requires at least 10 hours of cooking to achieve the specified consistency needed to make desserts of milk with semolina or corn starch to make liquors to be served with flour, peeled mote to spread on bread like jam. Doña Juanita says that "the syrup is a byproduct of grape country and is prepared once a year during harvesting. You have to grind the grapes and make the juice, usually cooked between 100 and 150 liters of concentrated fresh grape juice, unfermented, for between 30 and 40 gallons of syrup. Now there are very few people who produced and time-consuming to prepare, using funds formerly collected but no one has those pots of 100 and 200 liters. " This juice concentrate
