Then I fill the bottles, like I did with the peaches, and seal them and boil them for 15 minutes too. <BR/><BR/>My strainer is cool it is like a pan with holes on the bottom and a presser plate that you turn to squish the grapes into juice. (i actually bought it to make baby food years ago) I'll add a picture if I rememeber, if you can't get something like that, a regular strainer and something to push against it would do. <BR/><BR/>The steam bath canner, tool kit, bottles, and pectin were not expensive. And everything except the seals and the pectin you use again next year. It is an investment that is well worth it.C.

Thank...I printed your blog to keep for directions. Thank you! Your pictures are cool. I do not have a canner, so I will need to buy one like that. Is it expensive? I like grape-juice. I will have to try canning it first. Do you do it the same as your peaches?<BR/><BR/>Thank you for coming to my blog. I like that header picture too. I've put a lot of pre-thought into what I wanted my blog to look like, and things to say on it. I enjoy organizing things. I hope it is okay. Come back whenever you want and say hi. I will say hi back. -DEeDEehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788955653069361202noreply@blogger.com
