Too many grapes

[Sombeech]

So I started picking my delicious harvest of grapes. I started 45 minutes ago until it was too dark

This is about 20% of the total cluster count from my 4 year old vine.

Suffolk pink seedless grapes; we'll juice them and also make raisins. :2thumbs:

WOW! You should have a Bogley grape pickin party then, so none of them go to waste! HOW COOL!

And they look absolutely delicious!

You grow all kinds of good stuff dontcha? I remember your gorgeous sunflowers and an ice chest full of seeds! Mmmmmmmm.....

Ohhhh, I just membered, I've some grapes, a tangerine and a bananna in the fridge upstairs ~ I'm gonna go make me and my co-worker a little fruit salad! :mrgreen:

Hmmmmm, such good wine could be produced with these precious wines :2thumbs:

[Sombeech]

Just filled the 2nd cooler tonight.

Now it's "too many pictures" :haha:

And here's my wife making the moonshine.

I love your back yard Beech. So green. I could easily pass out there and think I'm in heaven.

Thanks. I designed and built all that myself. The hammock is the great reward. :2thumbs:

So, this is all concentrate. That's all the juice we'll do this year, besides, we've run out of jars.

We dilute it @ halfway with water (1 quart water, 1 quart juice). NO SUGAR ADDED, just pure grape juice and water.

YUMMMM

The rest of the grapes? We've got about another cooler full left, those are going to be raisins. :cool2:

[Deathcricket]

Can you elaborate on the juice extractor? Looks almost like a pressure cooker that creates a vacuum then siphons out the bottom? I can google it though if you're busy. Nice pics man!

It sho do. :mrgreen: Of course a little sugar doesn't hurt now and again, but I like that tartish taste that grapefruit and cranberry give.
