Going Grape

With the weatherfolks predicting a hard freeze two weeks earlier than usual,  we picked the grapes.  Got a decent crop...a bushel (40lbs) maybe? Most are ripe, some are not. We take our chances with those left on the vine in the frigid night temps.

Some people use frostbit grapes to make certain wines, but we won't be making wine. Tried that a couple years ago (previous post here)...the stomping was fun, but our wine turned out horrible, tart and combustible...2 bottles spontaneously burst in the pantry causing quite a scene!

Making plain old homemade grape jelly is fine with us...bring on the peanut butter!
