| 1. Version 1: | 2. Crush grapes in a food mill and extract as much juice as possible and discard the all parts of the grape sans juice. | 3. Transfer juice to a strainer lined with cheesecloth set over a large pot. | 4. Allow to drain thoroughly, pressing down on the pulp occasionally until all the juice has collected in the pot - this can be done in batches if your strainer is not large enough to hold all the grapes. | 5. Tie the ash or bread in a small piece of the cloth and submerge it in the grape juice. Place the pot on the stove and bring the juice to boil over medium heat. | 6. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered for 15 minutes. | 7. Set the pot aside and let it stand overnight. (The ash brings the juice to the top and any sediment will sink to the bottom.). | 8. The next day, remove the ask and carefully pour the clarified grape juice into a second pot, leaving all the sediment behind in the first pot. | 9. Place the juice over medium heat, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the juice reaches the consistency of of maple syrup or molasses - 235 F on a candy thermometer or about 45-60 minutes. Do not let the liquid boil over or burn but just bubble briskly. | 10. Allow the syrup to cool slightly and then transfer it to clean glass containers. Stir in any optional leaves now. | 11. Store in the refrigerator indefinitely. | 12. Version 2: | 13. Bring juice to boil over medium to medium-high heat and cook until 235 F on a candy thermometer or about 1 hour. | 14. The liquid should be dense but pourable, like honey, when cooled. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
