Cook the water, sugar and Caracas rubber on a low heat. Stir often, until it reaches the “ribbon stage”. At this point add the colouring (according to local regulations) and alcohol. Put the starch (making sure it is dry and sifted), in a special tray which must be smooth on the upper part. Using molds, model the elements which make up a bunch of grapes. Then, to fill in any holes, use the mixture already obtained and the special funnel. Leave to rest for at least 24 hours. Insert a wire into each “sweet” and, when the sweets are completely dry, use them to form a bunch of grapes. Add the leaves and the stem. Nino Costantino Messina
