After 5-6 minutes, drain the syrup, bring to a boil again and pour over the grapes again so that the syrup spills slightly over the edges. Seal the jars immediately and turn them upside down for 24 hours.

Rinse the grapes with water, separate the berries from the brushes. Blast the grapes in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Then transfer it to a colander and pour over with cold water.
