Every year my Mother-in-Law cans grape juice in quart jars. There are 3 different kinds that they have, King of the North, Valiant and a third that was there when they bought the place and is a tad more tart than the other two. Anyway she did up probably 100 quarts last fall. Of these she gave us 20 of them. She puts whole grapes in with the juice when she cans them. It's these I'm interested in.....
There's probably about a cup of grapes in each quart jar. I've been dumping the leftover grapes into a ziplock bag and freezing them and my in-laws have been doing the same and saving them for me. I intend to make wine out of these, but I'm not sure how much I'll need per gallon. These grapes are whole and have not been juiced. In fact they should have more juice than normal since they're bathed in the stuff right now.
Any thoughts?
It will be a while till I have enough to do anything. I've only gone through 4 jars so far.
