Wild Grape Juice

By Mrs. M. R. Reed

Perhaps some of the readers of the REVIEW would be interested to know that the juice of the common wild grape, so plentiful in some localities, is very nice when prepared in the following manner:—

Gather the clusters when ripe, and remove any moldy grapes. Cover with water in a granite, porcelain, or earthen pan, and boil until the skins are broken. Drain through a jelly bag. Then return them to the pan, cover with water, scald again, and drain.

Boil the juice, sweeten it, allowing three fourths of a pound of granulated sugar for each quart, and seal in Mason jars. Used with an equal amount of water, this is a pleasant drink in sickness, or it may be used for sauce, the same as other fruit.
