Grape Juice Recipe 1 ingredients

To prepare this Grape Juice Recipe 1, first wash the grapes and pick them from the stems. Set them in a preserving kettle over the fire, crush with a pestle and let them slowly heat to the boiling point. Let cook until the skins are tender (about fifteen minutes), then strain through two folds of cheese cloth, pressing out all the juice possible. Heat the juice to the boiling point and turn into sterilized jars, filling them to overflow; put on rubbers and sterilized covers; or store in sterile bottles with sterile corks and sealing wax. For ices it is preferable to put up fruit juices without sugar. For other use sugar may be added. Use half a cup of sugar to a quart of juice.
