&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Cornstarch (or flour)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;to taste, about 10% of the liquid obtained (e.g. 50 g per 500 ml)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Sugar or dates (optional)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;to taste (see notes)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 500 g of grapes is weighed on the stalk; once cooked and strained you usually get between 350 and 450 ml of liquid, so the starch must be measured against the actual liquid, not the starting weight of the grapes.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
