Tools to Can Grape Jelly

Grape Juicer in Operation, Tool 5

Here you can see the juicer in operation. I have shown a pot here, but we often just use a plastic gallon jug. Make sure whatever container you use sits lower than the juicer. Keep an eye on the operation. If you container overflows, not only do you lose the juice but also you will have a terrible mess. It is no time to watch an exciting football game. If you choose not to use a juicer, after washing grapes, place in cooking pot and crush. Add water and simmer covered 10 minutes. Put into a cloth bag and squeeze out the juice. We have done it both ways and the juicer stands out as a delight. Good luck.
