Method
Preparing Grape Juice
- 1
Extract Juice
Wash the Catawba grapes thoroughly. In a large pot, combine the grapes and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Stir occasionally, crushing the grapes with a spoon to release their juice. Simmer for about 15 minutes.

Strain Juice
Remove the pot from heat. Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the mixture into a bowl, pressing down on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard solids.
