Ingredients:
2 cupBread flour
2 1/2 cupWater
1/2 lbsRed grapes, stemmed
Procedures:
1The grape starter is from julia child"s new master chef book($17.95 retail).
2It is a recipe given by nancy silverton.
3It takes 10 days to complete but is then yours for life.
4Wrap the grapes in well washed cheesecloth, tieing the corners to form a bag; lightly crush them with a rolling pin (to release the sugar to mix with the natural yeast on the skins; just like making wine!) and immerse them in the flour water mix.
5Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap secured with a rubber band.
6Leave at room temperature for 6 days, stirring once or twice a day for the six days.
7The bag of grapes will eventually appear inflated, and liquid will begin to separate from the flour base.
8The mixture will begin to taste and smell slightly fruity, and the color will be strange.
9That is as it should be
