Grapes

A friend of the family has a large vineyard in his back yard, but doesn't do anything with the grapes. He told us to pick as much as we wanted so we brought a friend with us and cleared his vines.

We each picked an insane amount of grapes. I have canned 20 quarts of juice so far and still have three very full buckets of grapes in the freezer. I'm guessing I will get at least another 20 quarts.

Canning grapes juice requires a hot water canner. You wash the grapes, juice them, leave 1/4 inch of head space, and process for ten minutes.
