2 2/3 cups granulated sugarWash grapes, mash and place in preserving pot with enough water to cover. Simmer for 20 minutes. Press out juice through a colander; then strain through cheesecloth.

Add a few drops of yellow food coloring if using scuppernongs to give it a richer color. Pour into jars and seal.Yields 4 half pints.
