Grape Juice

Our friend Jacob brought us some grapes last weekend.  They are very sweet and tasty, but have seeds, so a bit labor intensive to eat.  I decided to make grape juice.  Homemade grape juice is delicious, and is actually pretty easy.
Half of a 5 gallon bucket of grapes makes 8 quarts of grape juice.

After taking all the grapes off the stems and washing them, you fill the jar with grapes.

The recipe calls for a 1/2 cup of sugar in each jar, but since the grapes were sweet, I only put 1/4 cup of sugar per jar.

Next, you fill the jar with hot water.

Put on lids, and boil in a hot water bath for 20 minutes. 
 And because I would be remiss not to have a picture of Laurel, here's one of her in the cute outfit she wore to church today.  Big poufy on her head.  Cute pink chucks on her feet.  What a sweetie.

Done!
