The more ripe, the more flavor you'll have. Wild grapes have more flavor than cultivated grapes. If you want a strong grape flavor, try adding 1/2 cup more grapes. My kids thought it tasted more like grape Kool-Aid than the Welch's grape juice when I used a mix of fully ripe grapes and about 25% almost-ripe grapes. Because of the method used (not cooking the grapes and straining the juice from them) this juice is not as flavorful as the commercially produced juices.RhondaLynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443560594719407161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522293522095232866.post-16515050386550058852009-08-25T16:33:28.193-04:002009-08-25T16:33:28.193-04:00Thanks for the recipes.

I understand that it needs to sit to improve the flavor, but hubby remembers it being weak from his childhood. I only have about a gallon of grapes and am not a huge fan of grape jelly so I'd like to do something like this.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256797532897046709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522293522095232866.post-43432715066170080762009-08-13T15:19:00.986-04:002009-08-13T15:19:00.986-04:00Awesome recipes!

Could you put some sort of note in your post to let those who are new to canning know that they really must make adjustments for altitude? If you live more than 1000' above sea level, there are adjustments to the time in a water bath canner, and also to the pressure used in a pressure canner. I'm at 6500', so I'm more aware of this than the average bear. I'd hate for someone to get sick because they didn't know!<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Laura <br />www.tenthignsfarm.blogspot.comLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480853709492521200noreply@blogger.com
