Put the grape juice into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Once it boils, skim the foam, turn the heat down to very low and continue simmering uncovered, stirring frequently, until the grape juice reduces by a little less than half, about 1 hour.

Remove from the heat and cool until just warm.

If desired, add granulated sugar to taste, depending on the natural sweetness of the grapes.

Thicken the concentrated grape juice (badagi) with a mixture of all-purpose flour and finely ground corn flour, stirring continuously until thickened.

Pour the mixture into individual ramekins or a serving bowl and let it cool to room temperature.

Refrigerate until set, then garnish with lightly roasted and coarsely chopped walnuts before serving.
