What each ingredient does
- Concord grapes
- Provide the flavour, colour and natural sweetness that make up the juice.
- Water
- Adds moisture so the grapes can soften and release their juice during cooking.
The step that matters
Bring the juice to a boil, then pour it immediately into bottles and seal. Boiling the juice and sealing it while hot heats the liquid enough to reduce spoilage microbes and helps create a vacuum seal in the bottle. Delaying the pour lets the juice cool and cool-down can allow contamination before sealing.
