What each ingredient does
- Grapes
- Provide the sugar, acidity and flavour that make up the juice itself.
- Water
- Adds moisture to help the grapes soften and release their juice when heated.
The step that matters
Bring to a boil slowly. Heating gently softens the grapes and helps release juice without scorching the fruit, which can give the juice a cooked, burnt taste.
