Nov 20/2011, Our Backyard Grapes are ready

We have grape vines in our yard and every year, they produce many many grapes. This year, they froze on the vine since we had a cold spell. Mommy went to pick them, and DiDi and I got to wash, squish, cook and make grape juice. We're making grape jelly!

We spent all day at it. Daddy helped crush the grapes, but I liked using the food processor. DiDi just got tired. We made 18 cups of pure juice. The recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar for each cup of liquid. That's going to be soooo sweet. I can't wait to bring some to school!
