Image
Squashes are something which we always store at home .Basically we do depend on all these store bought squashes ,but why dont we make them back home itself.This idea brought me into making squashes. My personal favourite is the grape squash so i opted to make it first.Now let us go through how it is being made.     Contents:   Red grapes            1/2kg Sugar                     3/4kg Water                     2cups Citric acid               1/2teaspn method: Wash the grapes well. Heat 1cup of water in a deep bottomed vessel, add in the  grapes to it and allow it to boil, once it starts boiling crush the grapes well untill it becomes juicy. Now with the help of a strainer extract the juices from the pulp and keep it aside. In another bowl boil 1/2cup of water and add in sugar and allow it to dissolve, add in citric acid and mix untill it turns to a thick syrup form. Once it gets cooled up add in the juice to it and mix well and store them in sterlized container
