What each ingredient does

Concord grapes
Provide the flavor, color and natural juice that make up the drink.
Water
Helps soften the grapes and extract their juice during cooking.

The step that matters

Cook until the grapes are thoroughly soft. Grapes must be fully softened so their juice releases easily through the jelly bag. Undercooked grapes hold back juice and yield less liquid.
