This Kansas, nearly retired, couple enjoy juicing our homegrown apples, cherries, grapes, and tomatoes...going on 31 years now! It's work...a bit steamy...but, the results are tasty. Two large stock pots, lids, strainers, and big mixing bowls...all of stainless steel is what we've always used. 🍅🍇🍒🍎
Several years ago, I received a steamer like that for Christmas and never felt comfortable using it. So this video was really beneficial for me. Now, if I can just find some grapes!
Oooh! You can use it for so many things! I like to put 5# of peeled tomatoes in the top and can the juice. Then I chop the tomatoes and make salsa. My recipe says to boil the salsa for an hour, or until the juicer has cooked off and it is the consistency that I like. Well. I don't have to boil my salsa at all now. And I get tomato juice as a bonus. I love the juice in lentil soup. Such great complementing flavors!
So easy to use, my sister used to bring me concord grapes frozen, put them in, got juice froze in four cups for grape jelly, she got my steamer second hand, used it for years.
Wine is very popular here in the USA as well, a lot of it made in California, but grape juice is very popular and also grape jelly, jam, preserves, and also eating the raw fruit itself. As a child I grew up eating these & drinking the juice. Cranberry juice is also another popular juice to drink here, cranberries grow well here.
Wow Mary, I used to make grape juice years ago when my children were young. My son could drink a quart at one time and he loved it. My son is close to 60 now, so it has been a few years ago. I always used Concord grape. I just bought a bunch of grapes just the other day that would have made great juice. They were not concord but they tasted and looked like concord. They were called seedless Thomcord grapes from Ca. Your method of making juice looks better than mine. Watching your channel brings back so many memories. Thank you so much. Ann from Va.
Just ordered the juicer steamer from your link / Amazon I had seen it at other RUclipsrs - but you done such a amazing job explaining the process-- yes I can do this !!
I have a juicer just like that’s. It’s so fun making juice…..nothing better than fresh Concord grape juice. I always just water bath the bottles. Delicious!!
We had a grape arbor for our Concord grapes. My mom made grape juice, grape jelly and grape butter every year. My Dad even made grape wine. Mom would have loved a juicer like yours. We cooked the grapes and put it through a cone shaped food mill (manual with a wooden paddle) to remove the seeds and the outside peel ( a lot of work). Good memories!!!
Water bath is fine for fruits and juices. No reason to do a pressure canner here. Thank you for sharing your process, Mary! It brings back memories of helping my mom canning grape juice!
Well I learned something new today. Unfortunately I’m Florida it’s hard to find a place that grows grapes but we do have wild grapes that grow here there’s small n my mama used to make grape jelly. Thanks Mary for sharing this great video. ♥️😊👍
Hola soy de Chile, te descubrí un dia y me encantó el programa. Lo mas importante es que volvi a encantar a trabajar con herramientas. Entonces he comenzado a comprar nuevamente ya que las anteriores las perdi en un incendio. Saludos estoy feliz.😍😍😍
I used to have one of those steamers when I had a jelly and pie shop, my mother in law ended up with it after I got divorced. They are pretty efficient and easy to use !!! Sharing equipment is the practical and affordable way too own pricy items but not many people will do that anymore 😏 I wouldn’t let those grapes go to waste either 😍
Hi Is the jelly a jam? In the UK we say jam,I've just made some super Jam from mixed fruit I had left over and just used chia seeds to finish it off...its a great recipe only 2 ingredients needed unless you prefer a sweet jam, I prefer to taste the fruits myself so just use the fruits & chia seeds and that's it made it ten minutes..
@@janeevans4758 Jelly here in New Mexico USA is the clear/wine colored gel like, and sugar added sweet. I make jam from what is left, it means I leave the pieces of the fruit in. Here we make beautiful green chili jelly, it is what we in New Mexico really love. It is a jelly with a spicy kick in it. lol Chia seeds sound interesting.??
@@deeaguilar1997 oh yum that sounds tasty, we have nothing like that in the UK & yes chia seeds are super good for you and have a combination of uses. They are available in the dark seed or a lighter seed, I just get the dark seed and they are really affordable at only £1.17 a packet, you actually only need a very small amount to use in puddings & jams.
YeeHaa I just got one of them steamers for $25 from a silent action benefit. AND have about 40 lbs of Niagara grapes that are ready to pick. I’m so excited to use it THANK YOU !!!
I to have the steamer and that's how I do my grape juice as well, we have several different kinds of grapes on our property. I also make grape jelly which is good.
You brought some memories for me. My great grandmother born in the 1890s made grape jelly but I could not stand the smell and still remember it to this day!
I have a similar steamer/juicer, and use it often for making juice from our local Montana Chokecherry bushes. I then can make Chokecherry syrup and jelly. 🍒
In skandinavia that is the most common juicer. You can juice all sorts of berries with it (strawberry, blueberry, currants, rasberrys) and rhubarb (awesome juice). I usually let the juice drain down through a collinder with cheese cloth into a pot or bucket with sugar on the bottom, stir once in a while, let it cool, bottel up and freeze
Growing up we had a Concord grape vine. I would help my mom make jelly out of the grapes. We cleaned, and cooked the grapes on the stove to make juice. We used cheese cloth to strain the juice out. Wasn’t a bad process. Homemade grape jelly is wonderful. I didn’t know about the juicer/strainer pot until today. Thanks for posting. Love ❤️ all your videos.
I have had my juicer/steamer for several years now and I absolutely love it. Best investment. I juice peaches and apple juice every year. So much healthier and tastier.
@@auntdello5286 No, but that sounds delicious and I can't believe I never thought of that! Plus the added antioxidants in cranberries alone!! What a fantastic idea
You have inspired me to make my own juice, and I've just ordered the steamer. Thanks so much; now I am committed. LOL! Everyone have a great, productive, blessed week.
Thank you for showing that. I've never seen anyone make grape juice. I love the fact that you didn't add any sugar. It's naturally sweet anyway. I think I would drink it with a splash of mineral water. Love your channel ❤
Thanks Mary. I got one of these steam juicers 2 years ago. I've discovered it makes many other juices, as well. I make cranberry juice when they are plentiful around Thanksgiving. This juicer is a great way to get juice for making jelly. Water bath is perfectly fine for high acid foods like grapes, especially since you don't add sugar. I made concord grape jelly last year. It's my husband's favorite for on his toast.
Thank you for sharing this video Mary! It was very enjoyable to watch your process of making grape juice. My mom had an Arbor when I was young & she made jellies, jams & juice the way many did before there were nice steamers like yours. She would have loved this method!❤
I’ve never even heard of a steamer like this! I’ve always made my juice the old fashioned way. How efficient this pot is! I use the boiling water method for juice as well. My pressure canner is used for low acid foods like soup, beans, meat, etc. I bet your house smelled so good! I love canning videos, it’s interesting to learn how others preserve. Mary you’re like a multi faceted diamond...you never cease to teach and inspire! 🍇🥰🙌🏻😉
Hi Mary , short and sweet today , enjoyed the process , looks so healthy , You are always so clean and tidy in whatever you do Mary . I'm making Blueberry jam (jello) today
Thank you! Very helpful! My husband works at a winery and right now there are so many varieties that are available, some make good table grapes. Now that I know how to do this I might have to invest in this juicer!
I’ve been using a steamer/juicer for decades for grapes, berries, to cook apples for making applesauce, etc. I heat my jars in my steam canner first and fill them, then just put the lids on and turn them over for a few seconds, then upright them and done! I don’t can them at all, the juice is hot enough to kill the bacteria, they are fine. You can waterbath can them for 10 minutes if you want to, but no need to pressure can them, grapes are high in acid.
I use mine a lot for elderberry jelly and around here in south east Michigan we have lots of wild grapes. In fact, the local river is the River Raisin.
Thanks for the informative video Mary! I LOVE grape juice and seeing you make it fresh, really motivates me to go in on a juicer with my sister and find some tasty grapes! Have a great weekend!💕
I had never seen a pot like that to make juice! Many years ago (17) our neighbor had a huge Concord grape vine that hung over to our side, the smell of the grapes was wonderful! You reminded me of that memory :) I would have loved to make juice out of them If I had known about that pot of yours :)) Thank you for sharing Mary!!

You're such an inspiration Mary. May God continue to bless you and your family. You have a fan all the way in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹.

It's so interesting watching this video... here in Italy we only make wine from grapes. Love from Sardinia Mary ❤
Wine is very popular here in the USA as well, a lot of it made in California, but grape juice is very popular and also grape jelly, jam, preserves, and also eating the raw fruit itself. As a child I grew up eating these & drinking the juice. Cranberry juice is also another popular juice to drink here, cranberries grow well here.
I think I would be going back for the rest of the grapes! I made grape juice 2 times this week. Got 10 pints they will be precious.
I dream of being as resourceful, productive, and efficient as you, Mary. You are such a magnificent inspiration. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I need natural grape juice in my life!

We always picked grapes from my grandfather's vines. My Mom always made grape juice and jelly. Nothing like homemade!

Thank you for sharing never heard of Grape Butter will have to check that out.
Wow amazing juicer, yes I can drink pure homemade grape juice or apple juice 😋
Water bath is fine for fruits and juices. No reason to do a pressure canner here.
Thank you for sharing your process, Mary! It brings back memories of helping my mom canning grape juice!
I’ve been making grape jelly. Love my grapes!
Thanks for sharing your talents
Really amazing 🍇🍹

So glad you showed this! I ordered the steamer! So neat!
So interesting, I have never heard of a juicer like yours.

Thanks for this video! I have concord and green grapes and have never even thought of doing this! I will now, it looks like fun!
My Mom used to make grape juice. It was so good!!!
Hi Mary! This was interesting watching the process of juicing. Thank you for sharing!
loved this video even though I won't juice, however, I NEED to re-create that lovely orchard John's parents have! thank you always for sharing.
Thanks Mary. This was a nice video. I loved it. Love grape juice too.

I wouldn’t let those grapes go to waste either 😍
Loved seeing your juicing process!! My mouth was watering imagining how it tastes! Love pure grace juice!
I have a juicer similar to the one you have, and just ordered 5 gallons of plums to make some jelly. That juice color is beautiful.

Love the apron.....I made a curtain for my kitchen out of that fabric. Love your videos!!!
Totally loved the short video.
Love the video Mary...thanks for sharing. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
YeeHaa I just got one of them steamers for $25 from a silent action benefit. AND have about 40 lbs of Niagara grapes that are ready to pick. I’m so excited to use it THANK YOU !!!
I LOVE concord grapes!!
I love watching everything you do.
I'm so thirsty for some fresh grape juice, can't wait to can some!
I to have the steamer and that's how I do my grape juice as well, we have several different kinds of grapes on our property. I also make grape jelly which is good.
That is so cool. Something new to learn
I used my steamer for elderberries this year. It was so easy to use

Good evening be safe and have a blessed day
What an interesting video Mary. You are so fortunate that your in-laws have grapes on their property.
I have a similar steamer/juicer, and use it often for making juice from our local Montana Chokecherry bushes. I then can make Chokecherry syrup and jelly. 🍒
What a great idea about sharing the expense!
Honemade grape juice and popcorn, yummy
Mary , You just had to tease us having that glass of grape juice...looks sooo good !!! Your friend from ohio 😊✌❤
That looked so easy. Thanks for sharing!!!
Mary, I love when you do videos like this. I always learn something new. 🌻
Can't wait to get one and make my own.

Have you considered cranberries when in season? I sweeten mine just before drinking.
@@auntdello5286 No, but that sounds delicious and I can't believe I never thought of that! Plus the added antioxidants in cranberries alone!!
What a fantastic idea
Looks really refreshing!!!
You have inspired me to make my own juice, and I've just ordered the steamer. Thanks so much; now I am committed. LOL! Everyone have a great, productive, blessed week.
I likely will never be blessed to have such beautiful grapes to do this process but I really enjoy ALL of your videos! 🌸
What a beautiful color
I've never seen a juicer like that. Only the electric ones for juicing vegetables/fruit. Nice to know about them. Thank you for sharing.

You are always so clean and tidy in whatever you do Mary .
I'm making Blueberry jam (jello) today
Thanks for sharing!
That was great to watch, thank you Mary
I love having home canned juice for the winter. My method is low tech, stock pot and food mill then pressured canned.
Thank you! Very helpful! My husband works at a winery and right now there are so many varieties that are available, some make good table grapes. Now that I know how to do this I might have to invest in this juicer!
Thanks for sharing. Looks delicious
Looked very delicious !!!
FANTASTIC! I love love love this! I never knew this is how grape juice is made! WOW! I can't WAIT to try this!
This is amazing. I need that pot!
Thank you so much, Mary. In February we planted a vineyard of Concord grapes for juice. We had no idea how to make juice! Next year we'll be ready!
Wow now I want to do this!!!
Wow, I have never seen that juicer before. It is awesome!!! Thanks Mary.

I make my juice the same way. I have never had any problems with it.
This process is new to me. Why do you need the pressure cook or water bath the jar?
@@Fiorentini333 The idea is to make sure the bacteria is killed inside the jar so it won’t spoil on the shelf.
@@cynthiafisher9907 aha! Makes sense, thank you 🌼
I use mine a lot for elderberry jelly and around here in south east Michigan we have lots of wild grapes. In fact, the local river is the River Raisin.
This was so interesting. It is nice you have grapes you can pick to juice. Thank you
🤗 Thank you Mary that was very interesting! Take care. ❤️
Remember my mom making grape jelly. No steamer tho. Long progress but so worth it.
Loved this & your apron Mary!! You’re so blessed!
That looks so good. And the steamer made easy work of it. Thanks Mary
Looks delicious.
I have this exact steamer/ juicer and I love it!
Very informative! I never knew there was such a thing as a juicer/steamer.
Thanks for the informative video Mary! I LOVE grape juice and seeing you make it fresh, really motivates me to go in on a juicer with my sister and find some tasty grapes! Have a great weekend!💕
Wow, that pot is a wonder. Sometimes it’s hard to beat some of the original things people used home preserving.
This brings back great memories!❤️
My Dad would spend hours picking grapes, and making juice and jelly! It was the best. Thank you for sharing 😊❤️
Also good for making grape jam...
