Grape Juice in a JarGrape Juice in a JarGrape Juice in a Jar

Recently I have seen a few people making grape juice in the most unusual way, but when you think about it, it’s very clever. It’s beautiful in the jar and as long as they are processed in a water bath for the correct amount of time they are safe. And who doesn’t like grape juice!

Cristy shared her jars and wanted to make sure that I kept the recipe for at least a few people who don’t have a steam juicer or the time to cook down the grapes and strain it to get the perfect consistency. You could also try this with cranberries or green grapes. The key is the longer you wait to open them the more full the flavor.

The recipe is so simple!! Here it is!
