Concord Grapes were being offered for sale in my area. They appear perfect if a little late. Price $20.00 per bushel about 40 pounds, pick your own. I use around 100 or more pounds for making simple juice with just a touch of water added to make the texture drinkable. Method of producing the juice is unique. The grapes are removed from the green substrate via swiping across simple nylon screen about one square inch opening, Just so the grape falls through. The hand blender agitate and basically make a slurry of the cooked grape, which is strained to remove seeds and debris. I drink as long as it lasts,until it lasts. It keeps well after pressure canning in one liter jars.

About 20~30 liters per bushel. Yes, I only use liter jars. They are stored in boxes of 12 liter jars. I use about one to three liters of various juices daily. I still have three bushels to process. Bit of a process from picked grape to pressure canned juice.

I came across these "Thomcord" grapes - cross between Thomson and Concord. The Concord kick is reduced and Thomson sweetness is introduced. Are they genetically modified or 'crossed' in some way ?
