    INGREDIENTS:
    8 cups grape juice
    1 cup flour
    Cornstarch

    PREPARATION:
    Heat 2 cups of the grape juice until lukewarm. Add the flour to the warm grape juice and mix well. Bring the rest of the grape juice to a boil and add the flour mixture slowly and stirring constantly until the mixture begins to bubble. Spread a sheet of muslin or plastic wrap on a flat surface and pour the mixture out evenly to a layer of about 1/8 inch. Let this dry for about 12 hours. Peel the muslin or plastic wrap off the surface and hang like a sheet from a line and let dry for 24 more hours. Spray the backside of the muslin [not plastic wrap] lightly with water to release the bastegh from the muslin. Powder the bastegh with cornstarch, cut into strips and roll up and store in a jar.
    NOTE: This can be made with other fruit juices.
