Ten pounds of Niagara Grapes were harvested from the garden and made into 9 liters of juice. The grapes were removed from the cluster by swiping across a mesh screen, covered with water, cooked about 20 minutes and blended into a slurry. The slurry was out through a food mill with a 2 mm mesh screen to remove seeds and picking debris. The juice was placed in 9 one liter jars and seven were pressure canned at 15 PSI for 15 minutes for storage. Two jars are for current use. Pictures depict the process.

Making grape juice is as simple as boiling water. Boil, blend into a slurry,strain, and can, or for immediate use store in the refrigerator without canning.. Any type of grape will suffice. Grapes are almost at the peak of their season in Zone 5. Juice has all the benefits touted for wine without the alcohol.

Sounds easy, I think I'll give it a try! Unortunately, we don't grow grapes, so I would have to use store bought ones. I bet they're treated with chemicals
