Following Suit






Time for grape harvest. I've had to wait for the "first frost" before I could pick these. (I guess the frost sweetens them up)

I was able to get a fair amount for myself before I started giving some away just because I had so many!



I steamed one batch last night and was surprised with how much juice concentrate I got. I have intentions of making jelly and with the juice I got, it's going to be a really "pretty" jelly. Nice and clear and a good color. (too bad I'm not a wine connoisseur, you'd hear me making funny noises too!)
What's left over of the grapes.
