Keeping Grapes Fresh
Ingredients
Directions
Dip the broken stems of grape bunches into melted sealing wax.
Pack the bunches in cotton inside large packing boxes.
Store the boxes in a dry and cool place.
In late October, cut the shoots with clusters attached and sharpen the lower ends to a point.
Stick the shoots into a potato.
Spread the branches on straw or dry hay, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Keep the grapes in a dry and cool location.
