Ingredients
Directions

Select perfect bunches of grapes.
Seal the ends of the stems with sealing wax.
Hang and store
Hang them in a dark cellar or a room with moderate humidity and temperature.
Fasten each bunch separately to prevent them from touching each other.

- Grapes
- The fruit being preserved; sound, unbruised bunches keep longest without spoiling.
The step that matters
Fasten each bunch separately. Grapes that touch can transfer mold and bruise, and spoilage spreads quickly between them. Space between bunches allows air to circulate and keeps damaged fruit from contaminating the rest.
