Finland Juicer

I took CJ over to his friends house last night and his friends mom had me come in and check out the juicer she had for doing grapes. It was the coolest thing I have ever seen!! Here is a picture of it.

You put the grapes in the middle part and a little bit of water at the bottom and just place it on the stove and they cook down and the juice comes out the tube!! She has one she borrowed from a friend and of course she tells me about this the day I finish up my grapes!! ARG!! LOL!! I wanted to get one and she said her friend got it for $20 off the Internet so I check and can only find them for $200. Just my luck! I will keep my eyes open for one for next year.

My friend Sue has grapes on her property and she said that in March she will give me cuttings off hers so I can plant them here and I'll have my own grapes. That will be cool!

My jelly set up really good and it turned out awesome! I could have made more but I stopped at 3 batches. Next year I will probably do more as I don't think what I have will last a year but I don't want to run out and buy more grapes.

That is something I will have to compete with you for. I love to do white grapes, but they came and went to quick this year. I am tired of canning anyway. I sit and look at the last three bags of apples to be done....

I really didn't want to can much this year but I ended up doing tomatoes and grapes. Some years I go crazy and others I don't do much at all, LOL! But just think, your almost done and you'll have all that goog food all through the winter months!
