Left town for a bit and came back with homegrown naturally grapes and apples to put up. I washed soaked/washed grapes and pulled them off the stems. Not having a juicer, I put the grapes in a blender to "juice";seemed to work fine-better if only 1/2 full. next I used an old hand mill to separate the juice from grape mash/seeds. Everyone should have such a handy contraption ready and waiting.
