I just finished 40 quarts of grape juice. Lots of work but worth It.

I bet that concentrated grape juice would dye some traps.

Nice, we make lots of grape juice with our grapes. My mom has this steamer thing she uses to make the juice. What do you use to make your juice?

Beav, I've always been tempted to try it with beets. My mom used to use beet juice to dye fabric, and I'd tend to think it'd work on traps too.

Dad has gotten to where he does this so he can make jelly with it later. He started doing that when the missus asked if he could do a grape apple blend jelly. They don't get ripe at the same time and didnt think he could but he'll do just about anything for my missus and the grandbabies. Never would've for me, lol.

I don't think Beets are acid enough for trap dye, that's what does the trick, not the color of the materials used.


Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon.

Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor.

Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

I just cook it down. Getting the pulp out is the chore.
