Ingredients
- 2 kg ripe Concord or other dark grapes, stemmed
- 60 ml water (¼ cup)
- 300 g sugar (about 1 ½ cups), or to taste
Method
- Put the grapes and water in a large stainless-steel or enamel pot and heat gently, mashing now and then, until the skins burst and the pulp comes away from the seeds.
- Strain through a jelly bag or a sieve lined with cheesecloth.
- Return the juice to the pot with the sugar and bring it just to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Cool, pour into clean bottles and refrigerate. Use within a week. Dilute half and half with cold water to serve.
The original was bottled for keeping in a pantry. For long storage, follow a tested home-canning method.
