tons of grapes

[okiegirl1]

Ok, so we were given a TON of grapes. both green and red (with seeds)
I have no idea what to do with them. I'm talking probably 15 pounds of grapes.

I don't want to make wine so thats out. the only other thing I can think of is jam (I hate jelly)

any other suggestions?

Juice, mead, bbq sauce base, raw vinegar, honey substitute, etc....

And for the record 15 lbs is not a ton of grapes. I had one vine give me 50 lbs the other year. We pruned the heck out of it last year so only got a few grapes, but the new growth that will produce grapes this year was insane.

FINE! there were more grapes than I've ever seen.... I'm kinda guessing on the weight. the box was heavy....

It was a GAZILLON pounds...

I still have 4 lbs of concords in the freezer! LOL

Oh! You can just freeze them. My hubby and son eat frozen grapes like candy.

Do you have a dehydrator? You could make some raisins!

hubby LOVES raisins

and it's way eaiser than making jam
