Oregon Grape Juice

The juice is perfect for kids and adult alike. The flavor rich beverage will be perfect as a non-alcoholic alternative to red wine.

2.5 quarts of frozen berries (if fresh, triple cook time)
3.5 cups of water
Put berries and water into a pot and boil for at least 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat and use a potato masher to turn the berries into pulp.
Pour the mixture over a sieve with a bowl underneath for catching the juice.
Let sit for 30 minutes to let the juice drain into the bowl.
Try to press out the juice from the pulp through the sieve
Measure how much juice concentrate you got. Add back to pot. For every quart of juice add 2.5 cups of sugar.
Let it boil up then simmer for 10 minutes. Pour the concentrated juice into containers and store in fridge.
