Concord grapes with seeds can be used to make juice, jam, jelly, pie, and even sorbet. However, the seeds need to be removed before using them in recipes. Here are some ways to remove the seeds from Concord grapes:

• Squeeze the pulp out: Pinch one end of the grape (opposite from the stem) and squeeze. The pulp inside will pop right out from the stem end of the grape. Remove the pulp from the grapes by squeezing one end of the grape (opposite from the stem side) .

• Separate the skin from the grapes: Some recipes swear by cooking the Concord grapes whole, with the skin. While this works for Concord grapes without seeds, its easier to remove the seeds if you first separate the skin from the grapes. This can be a tad time-consuming, but its worth it. After separating the skin from the grapes, cook the pulp for about 5-10 minutes until softened, and the sugar is dissolved. Pass the softened pulp through a sieve to remove the seeds (doesnt need to be a fine sieve, just small enough to catch all the seeds) and place it back in the saucepan.

• Use a food mill: Use an old school food mill to grind the pulp through and leave out the seeds.

Once the seeds are removed, Concord grapes can be used in a variety of recipes. Here are some ideas:

• Jam: Concord grape jam can be made by manually picking out the seeds with your fingers or using a food mill to grind the pulp through and leave out the seeds.

• Jelly: Concord grape jelly can be made by cooking the pulp, straining it to remove the seeds, and then cooking it again with sugar and pectin.

• Pie: Concord grape pie is a delicious way to use these grapes. The recipe involves separating the skin from the grapes, cooking the pulp, and then combining the pulp with the skins and other ingredients to make the filling.

• Sorbet: Concord grape sorbet can be made with fresh Concord grapes, sugar, water, and lemon juice. The recipe involves blending the grapes, straining the mixture to remove the seeds and skins, and then freezing the mixture in an ice cream maker.

• Other recipes: Concord grapes can also be used in savory dishes, such as roasted grape and balsamic crostini, skirt steak appetizers with Concord grape reduction, and rosemary pear and Concord grape galette.
