Picking Grapes
It wasn't until we noticed the sweet taste in the air, that the grapes in the yard were ripe for picking. The vines have been unkept for a few years and are beginning to take over the porch, so there was more than enough for our needs. We wanted to make homemade grape juice. After washing and destemming them, we ran them through a mill press to make our drink. The juice was sweet and vibrant but just a hair on the acidic side. In total, we ended up making nearly two gallons, what a fun experiment!
