Canning Grape Juice

 

Harvesting our own grapes for the 2nd time was a lot of work but brought us tons of joy. Last year, we had no idea what to do with the grapes and whilst I was researching they went bad. It saddened me. This year, I had a plan of action in place and knew the second we harvested the grapes we were going to can them. So, that is what we did. This brought me sooo much happiness. To be able to give my family PURE grape juice from our garden, is such a joy. I told my husband that I was VERY excited to do this again!
Don't be afraid to grow grapes and give this a try. Grape growing is one of the easiest things we have grown and requires little to no attention. This winter, we will be trellising the grapes since (in the video you will see) they grew everywhere.
