Filling with syrup
: add sugar to the water drained from the berries (at the rate of 300 g for each liter of water). Bring to a boil and cook the syrup for another 5 minutes. Pour boiling syrup over grapes in jars. Close with lids. Turn the jars upside down and leave to cool in this position until the morning.
