Grape Juice
Grape Juice
10 lb Concord grapes
2 quarts water
2 lb granulated sugar
Use well-ripened but not overripe grapes
Pick over & wash grapes
Place in kettle
Cover with the water & let boil until the seeds are free
Strain while hot through a cloth bag
Heat juice to boiling point & skim
Let boil again & skim; then add sugar
Heat to the boiling point
Boil 1 min
Pour into hot sterilized jars & seal, or use self-sealing bottles
If ordinary bottles are used, do not fill too full
Immediately after filling, place corks over bottles very lightly at first; as they cool, push corks down; then cover with melted paraffin or sealing wax to make the seal airtight
For white grape juice, select white Delaware or Tokay grapes
