1!. Take a couple pounds of grapes (that are off the stem)!. Wash them with a little lemon juice in the water to preserve the color (if using different colors of grapes)!. Pat dry and place on a baking sheet!. Cover with cheesecloth!. Set out in direct sunlight for several days up to a week!. Check on them after a couple days to see how much they've shrank and *wrinkled*!. :-) Taste and when they are how you want them!.!.!.!. store in an airtight container and enjoy at your leisure!.
2!. Use a food dehydrator and follow the manual!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
