Concord grapes aren't always easy to find, but if you have an old farm or see them at a farmer's market, you will love making grape juice. This is not just a kid's drink; homemade juice has so much flavor and will be amazing during the winter when you open a jar of the concentrate!

INGREDIENTS
4 qt stemmed grapes, washed
2 qt water, separated
1 1/2 cups sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the 4 quarts of grapes in an 8-quart stockpot on the stove and pour in 1 quart of water. Bring the grapes and water to a boil then turn down to medium-high heat and cook for approximately 20 minutes. When the grapes have cooked down into what looks like all liquid, it is ready to strain. Remove from the heat and allow to cool until are able to handle, about 1 hour.
Pour the cooked-down grapes into a heavy-duty cloth bag. The bag should be sitting in a bowl to catch all the juice.
Start squeezing and twisting the bag to bring out as much juice as possible. The debris left in the bag should be dry.
To the juice, add 1 1/2 cups of sugar and an additional 1 quart of water. Stir and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the sugar is dissolved, 5 minutes.
Pour into quart jars, leaving 1/4-inch of headspace. Wipe the jar rims with a clean cloth and fit with lids and rings prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place the jars in a water bath for 5 minutes to process, adjusting for altitude following the USDA guidelines (see chart in post for elevation adjustments: www.wyseguide.....
Once processed, remove jars from the water bath and let sit 12-24 hours. Remove the rings and check the seal. Store at room temperature for up to 1 year.
To prepare the juice to drink, use 1/3 concentrate to 2/3 water or other liquid.

From my farm to your home. 🏡
My name is Kaleb Wyse and here, you will find delicious recipes, videos from my farm, garden, and fun home projects. My knowledge has been earned from years of home cooks and farmers in my family. wyseguide.com
A farm is much more than a house to live in; it’s a lifestyle. My passion for gardening and landscaping came from outdoor work with my mom in our expansive farm yard, my love for baking came from innumerable short walks to my grandma’s house to make cookies, and as a farmer, my dad taught me that we are the stewards of our land.
So whether you live in a city center or have decided rural life is for you, I hope to inspire you with the projects and recipes I use in daily life. We can’t all live on a farm, but we all need farms in our lives. From the dirt in my vegetable garden to the flour in my kitchen, I’ll show you everything I love to do.
