Great Grape Punch is so juicy and good.  We especially like it made with home canned grape juice made from grapes from my son and daughter-in-law’s tree. However, you can use concentrated grape juice or grape juice without the added sugar.

We use to make great grape punch as part of our Sunday dinner. We all love the taste of the orange, limes and grapes together. I would say that great grape punch is one of our family signature recipes. So, if you are looking for a special drink that people of all ages can drink, this is the one.

Do you remember when you were young, what were some of the things that you use to drink? I know about the only one that we had was lemonade and Kool Aid! Now, I truly do not remember the last time I had Kool Aid.

But if you do not have any grape drink, you could also use black cherry Kool Aid. There is also a white grape juice that works well too, but I do not like the color of it and so I prefer the purple grapes. I do know that my kids and grand kids all enjoy great grape punch.

There is a problem; my son is going to move, and so I guess that I am going to have to plant my own grape vines. However, I do not have a green thumb, and now my son has a dog, that eats everything that he comes in contact with.

I can just see him after he has eaten some of the grapes that have fermented! Ha ha, maybe I better hurry and grow some so that once in awhile that dog can chill out. He is a lot hyper, and I wish that he would give me some of his energy!

We always had geraniums growing. My sister was shocked to see the geraniums in Uruguay growing up the side of homes when she visited there. When she returned from that trip, she told us how she had come to realize how hard it is to grow some plants where the air is so arid and dry. Here’s to my mother’s green thumb and this great grape punch!
