Our older neighbors, the Hale's (up the road from the rental house we lived
in for a year before we bought our farm), told me how she made grape juice.
In a one gallon canning jar she'd add 1 bunch of clean grapes (preferably
seedless, but not necessary) to equal about one cup, 1/4 c. sugar and filled
to 1" from top with boiling water, then processed in the canner. When I'd
ask why this or how come that, she'd come back to the same thing: it didn't
need to be complicated.

When I can, I think of my own Grandma Van Meter and Pauline Hale.
