How to Make Make Your Own Verjuice

  1. Gently pick approximately 1 kg of green grapes from their stems, discarding any that are bruised, overripe, or spoiled.
  2. Wash the grapes thoroughly (optional, but recommended for cleaner verjuice). The grapes should be distinctly tart – a pucker-inducing level of sourness is ideal!
  3. Puree the washed grapes in a blender until completely smooth. You can use a food mill or fine-mesh sieve to strain out the seeds and skins for a clearer juice (optional).
  4. The resulting verjuice should have a vibrant, slightly green hue and a distinctly tart flavor.
  5. Store the verjuice in a sterilized glass bottle or jar in the refrigerator. This homemade verjuice will keep for several weeks.
