Grape Jelly

How to Make

• Step 1: Wash and stem grapes and then crush the grapes.

• Step 2: In a large pot add the grapes and 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil; cover, simmer 10 minutes. Strain through a jelly bag (or cheesecloth) and then measure the juice into a pot (preserving kettle) -- you need 4 cups.

• Step 3: Heat the juice to boiling and add the sugar slowly, stirring constantly and then bring to a boil as fast as you can. When boiling add the pectin and stir again and bring to a boil. Cook for 30 seconds (timing begins when the mixture breaks into a rolling boil). Remove from heat, skim and pour into sterilized jars. Cover with the hot parowax.

• Step 4: You should get about 8 jelly glasses or 8 ounce jars.
