Purple Stained Fingers

Today I was in grape heaven! I made grapejuice for the first time ever and my kitchen smells delicious!

I used a recipe that my Aunt Susie, who lives in Berlin, Ohio, gave me. I hope it tastes as good as it looks!

It's actually a very simple recipe. I bought 15 lbs. of Concord grapes for 45 cents/lb., which I thought was quite a bargain! The canning part takes the most amount of time and calls for lots of patience!



Aunt Susie's Grapejuice Recipe:
-2 cups grapes
-1/2 cup white sugar
-boiling water
Fill quart jar with grapes, sugar and boiling water. Mix to dissolve sugar. Put lid on jar. Place in canning pot and boil for 10 minutes.


The results...

  1. hello mrs. martha stewart! i guess it's not really that difficult to make, the recipe you have listed seems fairly easy. way to go.
    did you ever try making "grape mush", it's an amish thing, but it's a delicious grape custard/pudding that is sorta like a dessert. it's very delicious.
