My 2 grape vines did a great crop of grapes this year ..
I have a juicer .. were you put the grapes in a funnel and turn a crank and I suppose the juice comes out one place and the skins and stuff comes out another place ..
QUESTION : Do I do anything with the grapes BEFORE I put them thur ... wife says something about boiling them in water .. is she right ?? or is there something else ??

THANKS for any replies ... it's been a long time ...

If you are making jelly, cook them a little. If you are making wine--do not heat them as it will change the flavor. If it were up to me, I would go for the wine. Ed
 
Just got a pailful of semi-wild Concords from a friend tonight--seems to be a good year for them here in NY at least. We just do "lazy man's" grape juice--wash your grapes a bit, stem them, then take a cup of grapes, put them in a quart canning jar with 1/3 cup sugar, fill with boiling water, shake a bit to dissolve the sugar, cap tightly and let set. You can also process for 10 minutes but we usually get a seal just by using boiling water and sealing quickly. Good within a few days, and improves a bit with age, though it's non-alcoholic. Got this recipe from some old folks who did many quarts of it every year and drank it with many of their meals plus served it to guests, and it's quick, simple and excellent.
 
Whole lot depends on what you going to do with the juice and the skins. For best taste for juice you do not want to use any heat and also if you want wine NO heat.
