HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE GRAPE JUICE

Steps:

• STEAM JUICER METHOD:
• Wash grapes well and remove stems.
• Place grapes in a stock pot and fill with enough water to just barely cover the grapes.Bring the grapes and water to a simmer. Using a potato masher or similar tool, smash the grapes down a bit to allow better juice extraction. After crushing the grapes, simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
• Once the grapes are broken down and very, very soft, remove from heat.
• Run the grapes and liquid through a fine mesh sieve or juice strainer, collecting the juice in a container and discarding the solids.
• POT AND STRAINER METHOD:
• Rinse grapes well and place in the colender portion of a steam juicer - stems can be left on. Fill the bottom pot of the steam juicerwith water to one inch from the top of the pot. Place on the stove over medium/high heat. Place the center pot on top of the bottom pot, and then place the top pot filled with grapes on top of the center pot. Cover with a lid.
• As the water in the bottom pot starts to boil, steam will release the juice from the grapes and will begin to collect in the center basin. Fully extracting the juice can take about 45 minutes to an hour. Make sure that the water in the bottom pot doesn't dry up or you will damage your juicer. I used my juicer for about an hour to make each batch and I never used up all of the water but you'll want to be aware of this. Depending on how high your heat is, water will evaporate at a faster rate.
• Once the juice has been fully extracted from the grapes, the solids in the top pot can be discarded and the juice in the center pot can be bottled.
• CANNING YOUR JUICE:
• To get clear juice, some people like to pour their juice into bottles and let them sit for 24-48 hours. This allows the sediment in the juice to settle to the bottom. Once the sediment has settled, the clear juice is poured into another container and brought to a boil for canning. The sediment is discarded. I don't do this as it isn't necessary and I don't mind a cloudier juice.
• I simply take the fresh juice ( depending on the type of grape used you'll want to taste the juice and add sugar if needed) and pour it into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch of space at the top. Top with a new lid and tightly screw on the lid.
• Process the jars of juice for 10-20 minutes, depending on your elevation and the size of jars that are being used.
• Store jars in a cool, dark place. They will keep for 6-12 months.

GRAPE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare four 6-inch round cake pans with non-stick baking spray and parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer add in the cake mix, jello powder, and salt and quick it a quick whisk to break up any clumps.
• Add in all the remaining wet ingredients and mix until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
• Divide batter between the cake pans and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.
• Allow to cool in pans for 10 minutes and then invert on a cooling rack to fully cool.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment cream the butter and shortening on high speed until light and fluffy. Approximately 5-10 minutes.
• Add the icing sugar, salt, grape jam, and almond extract and mix on low until combined.
• Turn the mixer up to high and let mix for 5 minutes until smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides of the bowl when necessary.
• Level each cooled cake layer with the cake leveler.
• Place one leveled layer of grape cake on a cake board, plate, and/or cake turntable. With a pastry brush, brush on a little bit of the Black Fly Vodka Sour Grape or grape juice if desired. Top with approximately 1 cup of buttercream and 2 tablespoons of grape jam.
• Repeat with the remaining layers and apply a thin coat of buttercream all over the cake. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Cover the cake with another layer of buttercream and smooth the sides with a cake smoother.
• Decorate the cake as you please. I used my Ateco cake comb to create a rustic texture wave-like design on the outside of the cake and left the top edge raw. Using black grapes, I topped the cake with a half border of them. Enjoy!
