This is an ode to my beloved yearly tradition of canning grape juice. Marcia, Brennan's Mom, has sold the "farm" in Farmington and is moving on! I made sure this year I picked an extra large crop of grapes in case I never have the chance to make homemade grape juice again! :( I picked two VERY large clothes baskets full of grapes (concord and green) that I am sure weighed over 50 pounds each. 100 pounds of grapes = 44 quarts of beautiful grape juice = 12 + hours canning in the kitchen!

Tonee,
You are amazing. You go girl. So glad you were able to take advantage of the grapes from your mother in law's place. Sometimes I wish I knew how to can and also had the patience for it, maybe someday.
Wow... you are incredible. I just inherited a canner from my aunt and would love to get into it. What else do you can???
Megan, was it a water bath or steam canner? Or a steam juicer? Canning is a lot of work, but I still think it's great. In the past I have canned salsa, applesauce, pears, and every year I usually do grape juice!
