Concord Grape Juice (Whole-Grape Method)
Ripe Concord grapes
Sugar
Boiling water
Wash and stem the grapes.
Put 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups in each clean quart-sized jar.
Add 1/2 cup sugar to each and pour in boiling water to come within 1/2 inch of rims.
Cover the jars with two piece lids and fasten the screw bands.
Place the jars on a rack in a deep kettle half full of boiling water.
Add boiling water to cover the lids by 2 inches.
Bring to a boil, cover, and boil hard (process) for 10 minutes.
Remove the jars from the boiling water bath and let them cool.
Store in a dark place for at least 2 weeks.
Strain off the juice and serve chilled.
