It produces between 7 and 10 gallons of dark purple Concord-type grapes every year. The flavour was good before but since I remineralized the soil with Azomite, a type of rock dust, they are exquisite. The juice is ambrosia! I use 1 heaping tablespoon of local honey instead of sugar and find that more than sweet enough. I've found that letting the grapes get touched with a hint of frost really sweetens them up (think ice wine). I also make domades and lactoferment a couple of jars of leaves for fall and winter use. And I use grape leaves in my lactofermented dill pickles. Grape vines…so much goodness. (ps, love your recipes and site.

We are not refrigerating the juice, but have canned it (in a hot water bath - that's what I meant in the post when I wrote "process according to canning procedures for 15 minutes"). I am not sure how long it would keep in the fridge? <br /><br />good luck!<br />Karinlittlecityfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988165881436573549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35718069.post-69363096996362825572015-08-30T17:56:53.791-07:002015-08-30T17:56:53.791-07:00Hi Greg & Karin -- I have a ton of grapes this...Hi Greg & Karin -- I have a ton of grapes this year too! I am wondering about the grape juice recipe you posted. Are you refrigerating the juice?
