• Grape Juice - & for passionfruit, red currants,etc Place some preserving jars in the oven at 50°C - I use the pop-top jars from jam, pasta sauce etc.. - if you don't have many, these are inexpensive at Opp shops - check that the undersides of the lids are not rusty when buying. Place the pop-top lids in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a simmer to sterilise them.

• Wash the grapes and leave in a colander to dry a little.Remove the grapes from the stems, and place them in a bowl. Bring to the boil some syrup - 1 cup sugar to 3 cups water.. times the quantity you want. Stir often to dissolve the sugar. When that is boiling and the sugar is dissolved, remove the jars, a few at a time, from the oven and place on a wooden or similar surface (thick newspaper works fine too) so they won't break going straight onto a cold surface. Quickly fill each jar to 1/4 full with grapes. Carefully pour over the syrup, a little in each jar at a time, to completely fill the jars right to the top. Place the pop-top lids on and screw tight. Wipe the outside of the jar and set aside to cool. As they cool, the pop-top lids will pop down to seal the jar. Wash the jars when cold.

• Over the next couple of weeks, the colour and flavour of the grapes will seep into the syrup, making lovely grape juice. This is delicious chilled - pour some into a glass and top up with lemonade.. You can also use this for passionfruit, berries, red or black currants, etc..etc..

(just copying that thread at the moment, and spotted the grapejuice recipe - so hope this is it) - (in the preserves thread, page 5)
