I add about 1/2 cup of sugar to each batch of 6-7 quarts, which is not much sugar at all per jar (maybe a tablespoon or two?) but the juice is a nice combination of sweet and tart. I added even less to the white grapes because they are so sweet.<br /><br />I could have had more juice if he had been more patient and squeezed every bit from each batch, but that can make the juice cloudier and I had so much to do I just let it drip through and then discarded the plummies for the chickens. They were happy!<br /><br />Angel, I'd offer you some, but it's all gone :)Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-14873352264454235252011-08-23T04:08:51.695-04:002011-08-23T04:08:51.695-04:00The soup looked so delicious.

Do you sterilize your jars and then process 10 minutes in boiling water bath? I've frozen juice before but never canned it.Janet,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17796999156668844943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-40684493842486575902011-08-22T22:18:59.522-04:002011-08-22T22:18:59.522-04:00Don't we all, Pat?

I remember so well how my mother would make a roast last most of a week but using the Sunday leftovers to make casseroles, soups and stews.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-5144540247416154052011-08-22T20:23:12.649-04:002011-08-22T20:23:12.649-04:00I'm afraid I'm guilty of throwing away per...I'm afraid I'm guilty of throwing away perfectly good soup ingredients.
