Equipment

  • Sterilized canning jars
  • Spatula/Spoon
  • Oven mitts
  • Bowl
  • Cheesecloth
  • Stove

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Muscadine Grapes
  • ¼ cup Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Wash your Grapes
    Wash the freshly picked grapes and fill up your previously sterilized jars. It is important to sterilize your jars before using, or there might be bacteria, yeast, fungi, etc. in them.A sterilized jar will ensure that the grapes are preserved properly. they will also remain fresh for a longer period of time. After you are done sterilizing the jars, I’d say fill them about 3/4ths with the muscadines.
  • Step 2: Add Sugar
    Add sugar to the jars in the right balance as directed below: For pint jar, take 1 tablespoon, For quart jar, take 2 tablespoons
  • Step 3: Fill the Jars with Boiling Water
    You will need to boil some water separately. Once you're done, fill the rest of your jars with the boiling water. Make sure you use oven mitts for this.
  • Step 4: Put on the Lids
    Put on the lids of each jar and make sure you tighten them properly to keep all the flavor. This is a very important step that will help you keep the fresh taste.!
  • Step 5: A Hot Water Bath
    After tightening the lids properly, place the jars inside a water canner and give them a hot water bath. I’d suggest you spare 15 minutes for it. But you are good to go with only 10 min.
  • Step 6: Let it Rest
    Carefully take out the jars from the canner and put them on a wire rack (Don’t burn your fingers, please!). Let them rest on a wire rack. (Don’t burn your fingers, please!) Keep them like that for about 4 hours. Meanwhile, grab your shoes and go for a jog. Your refreshing drink will be half ready till you come back!
  • Step 7: Strain the Juice
    Before drinking, strain the juice from the jars into a bowl. Using a cheesecloth will ensure that the juice is free of pulps.
  • Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
    Serve your drink in a juice glass. You can use a thinly sliced piece of lemon for an additional decoration. Maybe add some mint leaves too. And voila! Your refreshing drink is now ready to drink.

Notes

Be careful while dealing with hot water and also while sterilizing the jars. Wear oven mitts for safety. Be cautious while you drain the juice. You won’t want your tasty drinks to spill!
