Hi NAFEX Pros:
This year finds me with an abundance of seeded Concord Grape and the need is
great to make jelly and anything else I can do with them. In the past when
I made grape jelly some jars came out fine, but, others were not as firm as
a good jelly should be. Also the pot that I used to boil the jars in has
developed holes in the bottom and needs to be replaced. I looked at a
pressure canner at the local hardware store and wondered if this is what I
need.
The grapes are about 5 to 7 days away from being "just right" after a dry
summer where most of the lawn turned brown and the grapes thrived. In the
past 3 days we have had 11 inches of rain and up to 5 more inches of rain is
expected in the next 3 days as the thunderstorms roll through. What can I
expect in the way of an impact on the grapes?
Thanks,
Ward Barnes
