Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Cups flour
2 1/2 Cups water -- tepid
1/2 Lb red grapes -- stemmed

wrap grapes in one yard washed cheesecloth and crush. Mix flour and
water. Add grapes in cheesecloth bag....(Do all this in a crockery bowl
or stainless steel pot or bowl. As with any sourdough, do not use
aluminum). Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let sit at room
temperature for six days. Stir once a day with wooden spoon. At end of
six days remove grapes. Starter is ready to use if you want an
especially sour taste....if you prefer a milder starter feed it with one
cup flour and one cup water for three day period before using.
Refrigerate between feedings, (after mixture has bubbled). Always let
starter return to room temperature before feeding....replace amount used
in each recipe with like amount of flour and water. Allow starter to
bubble before refrigerating.
