Yay, grapes!

Here are some photos of our first grape pick.

Beautiful bunches of Valiant grapes

My kids Melanie and Aidan helped too

Grapes are picked by the bunch

 

Hold the bunch in one hand and snip with sharp scissors or garden shears

We harvested about 20 lbs, we donated 1/3 to RAY

We’re testing out a few recipes with our grapes.  They’re much more tart than store bought grapes and they have seeds in them – but the kids don’t seem to mind.  They’re munching away on them – so I better come up with a plan soon!

What’s your favourite thing to make with grapes?

    Can you believe that my husband requested a grape milkshake. Grapejuice and vanilla icecream and voila, a delicious grape milkshake. I’d sure make them again.
