Bret's Cannery Part 2  Screw on finger tight each rim securing the lid.  With some canners you might need a "spanner" jar to take up space so jars don't move in the boiling water or clatter.  Place on the lid and process one hour after water surrounding the jars comes to a rolling boil.... NOT SHOWN..... in the bottom of my roaster is a rack... do NOT place glass jars directly on the bottom of the pan... they will EXPLODE !  After an hour I just turned off the heat allowing the canner to cool down over night These are my jars of home made grape juice. You need to shelve your juice for about a month so the flavors totally develop. *** Any Questions feel free to ask....... lilium6 I hope this crosses over to metric for you..... |

MANY years ago I would help my grandma make this. She would can easily a 100 jars from Grandpa's grape vines.

Sounds like a dangerously explosive process to me, so I won't be attempting it any time soon. I will stick to my apple sauce in the fall. Good work, Bretty. The finished product looks good.

It was a nice day here at 69F, light NW wind, clear sky. I was doggy sitting and walking 2 little doggies today. Also rented out some space in my garage for mt new neighbor to store some things while they are waiting for their totally renovated 1946 2 storey house to be finished. They are moving out of their accommodations in the city at the end of June.

100 jars is a lot of canning for any grandma. Yours must have been really special.

Thanks so much Brett for kindly providing step-by-step instructions (along with photos) on how to make grape juice - much appreciated  . I am a little taken aback as it's nothing like I envisioned. So the process is more like canning/preserving. I've never seen a canner before - interesting equipment which looks as if it can accommodate quite a few jars. Thanks, the metric conversion only needed a minor tweak. Fascinating. I'm keen give it a try next summer. I have a friend who is keen on preserving so she might be interested in joining me (she has a wealth of experience to keep me on track  ). I imagine you eat the preserved grapes also? I'm really looking forward to sampling the juice - do you drink it straight? You mentioned elderflower earlier - I had a most refreshing home-made elderflower cordial given to me which is now easily among my favourites. [On a savoury note, I'm keen to try the preserved lemons I made when ready. I have a weakness for middle eastern foods as well as Indian and south-east Asian]

I copied and filed away your straightforward instructions/photos on grape-juice making - so helpful as I tend to need visuals to assist with clarity at times. Thank you once again : )

WOW that is interesting. I never knew how to even try and make grape juice
