This year we have lots of them:
Concord Grapes on the vine
I picked several pounds of these, destemed them and washed them:
Concord Grapes ready to be juiced
Using a potato masher, I smashed them up as best as possible, then put them on the stove. Brining them to a low simmering boil for 10 minutes, I mashed them again. Then, I strained them through a metal strainer to get rid of the seeds and skins. Finally, I strained that juice through cheese cloth and ended up with about two quarts of grape juice.
I must say, the grape juice is pretty good, slightly tangy but yummy. I found cutting the grape juice with 1/2 water made it taste better. Also, my wife is planning to make grape jelly with the juice, as we have lots of it, and having homemade grape jelly, just like the home made strawberry jam, will be welcome in the middle of winter.
