Grape Harvest
The grapes on the giant old grape vine, which climbs up into the trees, have become ripe and ready to pick. Last year I made 4 quarts of grape juice concentrate, which I canned and then drank throughout the winter. The year before that I made grape jelly. I haven't decided which way I'll go yet, jelly or juice, but I've harvested a basket of grapes, washed them, removed them from the stems and cooked them. They are currently sitting in cheesecloth inside a strainer to get all the good liquid out. I'll put it in the fridge and decide how to proceed later.
