This recipe is one given to me by a friend at church and she says it is the BEST grape juice recipe, but that you MUST wait at least 6 months before drinking it for the best flavor. I just made it this week so I've got 120 quarts waiting for me! We did taste the 2 quarts that didn't seal and found that it was a bit too sweet for our taste. I did ask the Ball company about eliminating the sugar and they said that it was safe to do so, so in the future we will either halve the sugar or omit it and just add a sweetener if we want it when we drink it. The flavor in the ones we drank immediately after canning them was good, but weak, so I'm very interested to see how it tastes after waiting! However, the Ball Blue Book said to only use 1 cup grapes, so that is what we used. If I use 2 cups of grapes per quart we'll probably dilute it when we use it after we wait. This recipe is VERY easy to do. My children all helped, from my toddler to my preschoolers. Enjoy!

    Thank you so much for sharing! I have 25' of concord grape vines in my yard and heard of this easy method, but didn't know how to do it. I have now put up 10 qts of this juice (which was so much easier than last year, boiling, crushing the grapes, straining, etc...) And now I can share this recipe with my neighbors when I give them bushels of our grapes! Wonderful and simple!

    I have made grape juice this way for years. The best. when all the young'un were home made it in half gallon jars, quart was not enough for them and their friends. My neice still asks about the juice when she calls.
