Buy a juicer......grape juice is lovely.
Or you could sell them at your local car boot/Sunday market.
My local car boot sale always has people selling home grown fruit and veg.

I remember my aunt had a vine.I think they used to be too sour for juice.I think she mostly made wine.I remember her having to harvest them quickly when it got hot as they used to burst.
Ive 2 punnets of red seedless for £1 off market they are lovely cold out of fridge.

use them as a side in salads, or with roasted pheasant or quail. delicious.

They work well cooked with chicken. Could you put some in a jelly?

Before you start cooking are you sure they are the eating type of grapes and not the decorative type. My parents have some grapes growing over their conservatory but they are a decorative variety and are very bitter with huge pips. They used to have some that were good for eating too but they were in the green house and were destroyed when it burned down. My dad thinks he might not have put the smoker out properly but it could have been from the sunlight being focused through a jar or something.

I live in a small market town, and have the opportunity to send excess fruit/veg to auction each week. Grapes (along with other soft fruits) go quite well each week. You don't have to send huge amounts, and I normally send blackcurrants and raspberries. The cost goes towards whatever I buy that week from the fruit/veg stall, so is offset against my fresh veg bill, and as I am only sending my excess (I already have jam/jelly and frozen fruit for crumbles and pies) it is a bonus for me!;)

if you made grape juice could you freeze it?

Do you add them as ice cubes to drinks or just eat them frozen?
It sounds good!
