I got the directions for making grape juice this way from someone in a group. I made it for the first time last year. It’s definitely a different way to make juice. It’s so much easier! No need to cook the grapes first to get the juice. The best part? It tastes so good!
The Easy Way to Can Grape Juice
Sterilize quart jars and lids
Boil water to put into jars
Boil water in water bath canner
Remove grapes from stem and wash.
Into each quart jar add:
1 cup of grapes
1/2 cup sugar
Fill jar with boiling water
Wipe rim and place warm lids on top, place ring on finger tight
Put jars in boiling bath canner, bring to boil, boil for 25 minutes
Remove and allow to cool
Check seals before storing
Wait 3 months before you use it. It was hard, but these jars sat for several months. I had them hid in the pantry. If the kids knew they were there, they wouldn’t have waited. lol
Strain juice before drinking I have this little plastic strainer that I use. A fine mesh strainer will work as well. A coffee filter will work, too.
When everything in the garden is ready to harvest, and all the fruit is getting ripe, it’s nice to have a quick, easy way to preserve the grapes. And the juice tastes great!
