This weekend mom and I were each given a giant bucket of concord grapes
from our friends, Eddie & Janet Baker. We knew exactly what we
wanted to use the grapes for...Grammy's homemade grape juice. I am
currently visiting my parents, so we decided to make the juice together.
As an added bonus, Grammy came over to teach us how to made the juice.

Once the grapes were washed we added water to the
pot. Just enough so that we could see the water.
Then we cooked them all
until they were mushy.
Then we put the grape mush
through a strainer and smashed the juice through with a masher.We put
the juice through a strainer once more, just in case.
Next we measured the amount of juice we had and added 1 cup of sugar for every 4 cups of juice.
Then we brought the juice to a boil and then simmered it for 20 minutes.
Finally, we put the juice in sterilized jars .
