Making Grape Juice

Brother Mitchell has been growing grapes for the last few years and informed us that the grapes needed to be picked and juiced. I felt like I was done canning but at times like this you don't have a choice.


We borrowed a juicer from a family in the ward and it was quite amazing. It took us 5-6 hours from start to finish doing three batches of juice taking an hour at a time. Luckily we had the afternoon and evening one Saturday to do it together (Spencer and I) or it would have been a frustrating process.

Some of the Concord grapes we cleaned up and prepared for juicing.

When you stir the juice it gets really frothy. We got 15 quarts out of it all and glad we had the experience. The juice is a nice addition to our Italian meals!
