My garden & house
Indian summer is a fabulous period, when the warmth of the nature is shining in blue and golden light by beautiful colors.
In the middle of October, we
gather grapes. Most people in Caucasus make
wine.
Google liked my picture of grape in my garden and made one with effects. It is so nice!
Since I do not drink alcohol, I prefer to make grapes in syrup, using an old-fashioned method.
It takes a lot of time, but
the results are terrific.
You fill jars with grapes
Make dense syrup (400 g sugar per 1 liter of water) and pour
it boiling into jars.
You put the jars into the oven
for 40 minutes of sterilization (100 - 120°C )
and
fix covers with special machine, immediately hot from the oven.
You
put each jar top down, to be sure no juice is leaking
The drink is ready. It can
stand in your basement for months. In time it will gain color of fine-looking
wine, the taste terrific.
When your guests come, you
treat them with super natural drink, adding water and ice, if needed.
Since you make this charming
drink with love, everybody drinks love, sun and delicious juice of beautiful summer,
sitting at your table. It will also heal your cold in winter.
Bunches of grapes from the jar
can be used for cooking stewed lamb.
Together
with garlic and spices,
you
make a masterpiece.
Life is very tasty, like LOVE!
