It's time to crush those grapes and make yummy wine!
Laugh when you should and apologize when you should and let go of what you can't change |

| We had to do a quick harvest of the grapes last night since we are getting some snow today. It was fun to string lights inder the pergola to do the picking! I am freezing grapes for hubby to make wine and I am making grape juice and syrup. Yummo! |

| Rene, I just loved you grape pictures. I was intrigued and looked at your blog site. They made my day. I am so jealous that you have a large group of farmgirls that get together. Living in Tx there are SEVERAL miles between the Tx farmgirls. Ya'll are blessed. |

Those grapes sure are nice.
I know you are busy with the juice, jam and raisins, but when you get a minute would you please share how you make raisins?
I've been wanting to try making raisins, but haven't found good directions.
Thanks

| I have made raisins by just putting grapes in the dehydrator. I had to check them a lot at the end and rotate the trays. In my Ronco dehydrator, I found it best to leave the bottom tray empty because those raisins got a little dark, but I ate them anyway because they tasted so good. |

Rene -
You must have a lot of energy to make juice, jelly and raisins. DH decided we had a too big of harvest off of our concord grape vines to ignore, so he picked this morning - 5 very large buckets. I have been processing juice most of the day, and we gave two of the large buckets to the neighbors in exchange for some fresh figs.
I am tired.

Those grapes look wonderful! What kind are they? Are they used to make wine? Here in North Carolina we grow muscadines and scuppernongs. They are delicious and mostly used for winemaking.

 Oops-should have read all the replys,I see that your grapes are used to make wine.
