Concord grape syrup.

Ingredients
660g (1 1/2 pounds | 4 cups) Concord grapes
400g (2 cups) granulated sugar
240ml (1 cup) water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Lower heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit breaks down. This takes about 15 minutes. Mash fruit with a potato masher or a spatula and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Using a sieve, strain mixture into a clean glass jar. Discard the fruit and let the syrup cool completely. Transfer to a bottle and store in the fridge for up to a week.
Grape syrup ginger beer floats

Print
Amazing, creamy floats that are made in seconds! Perfect for early Fall.
Recipe makes 2 generous floats.
Ingredients
500-700ml (1 to 1 1/2 pints) vanilla ice cream
60-80ml (1/3 to 1/2 cup) concord grape syrup (more to taste)
240ml (1 cup) ginger beer or ginger ale (more to taste)
Serve with: frozen grapes for decoration, a long spoon and straw (optional)
Directions
Place 2-3 large scoops of ice cream in each glass. Pour over the syrup and then the ginger beer. Serve immediately, unstirred, and enjoy!
Notes
Adjust the portions to your taste and add less or more of anything. For a creamier float, you want a lot of ice cream, for a more drinkable one you want more of ginger beer.
If you don’t like ginger beer, you can also use sparkling water or soda. Or, if you’re in the mood, use Prosecco instead!
