Yesterday Gio harvested the grapes - merlot & Cabernet, he only took the grapes that were falling on the sidewalk.
The birds, squirrels and raccoons have been having a hay day feasting, there are still about 1/3 of the grapes remains on the vine for the animals and Nils to do with as they wish.
The grapes are going to be made I to a jelly by Nils - this is truly a group effort! Gio picked, I made the juice and Nils will finish the project with Jelly! I hope that he does this on his return tomorrow because I wanted to take a few small jars on the road with us as gifts.
RECIPE
Grape Juice
Two full bowls of grapes (seen above) - washed and stemmed - as well as de-spidered.
I cracked the grapes in the vitamix - not long with just a small amount of water each time.
Each bowl of grapes ended up with it's own pot to steep in.
Low heat for 30 minutes +
strain thru cheese cloth.
JUICE!!!!
Maybe tomorrow night I can make the jelly with Nils.
I have always made jam and have yet to play with the fruit pectin.....
