Verjus - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 bunches green grapes, minimum
    1 bunch grapes
Preparation
    Use at least 3 bunches of under ripe grapes. You could make bushel fulls, too!
    Press the juice out of the grapes, using your fingers, or by crushing the bunches with bricks, or by using a wine press.
    A wine press is a small barrell with a weighted lid on a substantial screw that winds down, down, down on the grapes. The liquid pours out of a spigot low on the barrel.
    Strain and filter the juice, discarding the skins and seeds. Strain with muslin, a jelly bag, coffee filters, anything that will work to produce a clear liquid.
    If you make a small quantity, use within 4 or 5 days. A larger quantity should be bottled and sterilized, or put in jars and sterilized.
    The formatting of this recipe required me to give a minimum 2 ingredients, so I entered bunches of grapes twice!
