FILLING
TO CAN GRAPES

Canning grapes is quite an art but
this recipe has fine results: Squeeze
the pulp from the skin. Boil until the
seeds begin to loosen in one kettle.
Have the skins boiling in little water
in another kettle Boil them hard as
the skins are tough When the pulp
is tender put it through a sieve and
add the skins if tender with a little of
the water they were boiled in. Use a
large coffee cupful of sugar for every
quart can; boil until thick and can in
usual way.
