ANSWER Barbara Massinger, Thomasville, wanted to
know how to make and can grape juice. Thanks to a Cumber
land reader, who writes that an easy way to make and can
grape juice js to use a steamer called Mehu Maya, which is
simple to use and makes hardly any mess. All you need to do
is wash and pluck the grapes. Put them in the top part of the
steamer. In about an hour, they should be finished. The juice
collects in the middle section that has a small hose attached to
it. Hold your jars under the hose and fill. They should seal as
the grape juice is hot. The steamer also has. a bottom part
(resembling a double boiler) that needs water in it at all times.
The steamer works for many kinds of fruits and vegetables
and for steaming meats. Full instructions are included with the
steamers, which may be purchased at Country Housewares
in Leola, Good’s Store in East Earl and Weaver's Clothing
Store in Fivepointville.
Thanks to A. Moyer, Bemville, who sent her recipe for
grape juice.
Pick ripe purpie or white grapes. May use a combination.
Wash grapes. Pull off the stems and place in kettle. Cover
completely with water. Bring to a boil. Pour through cheese
cloth or put through a sieve. Add 1 cup sugar (scant) to each
quart of juice. Put measured juice and sugar back in kettle
again and heat very hot. Put into clean jars, cap and seal. This
makes a concentrate to which an equal part of water is added
before serving.
Thanks to Mrs. Ray Keeny, New Freedom, for sending an
unusual recipe that uses the complete grape by majdng juice
and sauce.
Put water on grapes to within 'A -inch from top. Boil and
strain. To each quart of juice, add 1 pint water and % -1 cup
sugar. Bring to a rolling boil. Pour into sterilized jars. Seal and
turn upside down for 30 minutes or more. Or, process 15
minutes in hot water bath.
For sauce, after the Juice drains off the pulp, put the pulp
through the food mill then sweeten to taste. This makes a deli
cious fruit, which I call grape sauce. It is eaten by itselfas afruit, on
lop of ice cream, mixed in cereal or as a spread on bread.
Thanks to Tina Forty, Palmyra, for sending an easy recipe and
she says the best she has ever used.
