If you've got 10 hours to spare...

Let me first start by saying that I've waited for 4 long years to
be able to spend 10 hours tending to my bounty.
Last year should have been my first year with grapes,
but when the hail storm hit - my grapes were done in.
So...when you get a whole bunch of these:
Start picking them off the vines...



Add water and stir...



Then strain and smash...
(this is when being angry with your husband comes in handy)



Then strain some more...



Ask for some very "cute" help...
cause by this point you are ready to throw in the towel...



And VOILA! You've got grape juice!

Apparently you can strain again and get a clearer juice...but I don't have
48 more hours to devote to this project! In the end it tastes great!
Was it worth it? Yeah.
