How to Make Grape Jelly
- First make the grape juice using fresh washed grapes
To 3 1/2 pounds of clean grapes add 1 cup water - Bring to a boil and simmer covered for 10 minutes. The cooking time is only after it comes to a boil.
- Strain and squeeze out all the juice with a jelly cloth or cheese cloth.
- In a large pan, put 5 cups of the juice
Add the fruit pectin to the juice
Mix well
On high heat, bring to a full rolling boil, and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Stir in sugar all at once, and bring back to a full rolling boil, again boil hard for 1 minute stirring constantly. (I add a tsp of butter at this time to help keep the foam down) - Remove from heat, skim off foam and pour into hot jars, add put on hot lids.
process in hot water bath for 5 minutes
