The joy of having grapevines

Every Summer for the past 2 years, the grapes have been giving us an abundant of crop.

This year we all rasa paling banyak so far sampai the lorikeets pun dah tak larat nak makan, hehehe.

But they still came occasionally melawat kawasan .

We all pulak lagi lah dah tak larat nak makan!

I managed to make some sundried raisins the other day and last week, I made raisins using the dehydrator pulak.

But before we could make the raisins, we had to pick all the grapes and salvaged the good ones.

Bukan senang kerja dia, nasib baik ada buruh kasar sorang yang sangat rajin and ringan tangan menolong I.

Kena went through each single grape to see if there are any splits, blemishes and what nots and to see whether they are ripe enough or not.

Penat giler!

Out of the 10+ bunches of grapes that we picked, we only managed to salvage 1 small bowl of it.

Yang lain kena buang masuk compost.

After so many hours in the dehydrator, they became like this

I said to The Other Half that I would rather just buy the already made raisins at the shop than have to go through all the troubles of making them, hehehe.

Tapi sayang pulak anggur kat pokok tu tak termakan and rosak macam tu aje.

And that’s just the red ones, the green ones pun banyak jugak.

But we all suka makan fresh the green ones cos sgt manis and juicy.

Miss 10 jugaklah yang kena jadi buruh kasar tolong I sort the grapes.

Lepas dah sort out the good ones, basuh pulak bersih2

This part dia suka sebab dapat main air, hehehe.

But the part that she loves most is eating the grapes .

And I also use them in salads.

Lepas ni, kalau our blood glucose levels naik, you all tau lah kenapa ye!
