Method
- Sterilize your canning jars and lids.
- If using fresh grapes, crush them and cook with a little water. Strain the mixture through a food mill or fine mesh strainer to extract the juice.
- In a large pot, combine the grape juice and lemon juice. Stir in the fruit pectin and mix well.
- Bring the pot to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Once boiling, add the granulated sugar all at once. Stir until fully dissolved, and bring back to a rapid boil.
- Boil for 1-2 minutes, then check the consistency by dropping a spoonful on a cold plate.
- Using a funnel, carefully fill the sterilized jars with the hot jelly, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 5-10 minutes.
Notes
Always check the seals after processing; if a lid pops up, it's not sealed and should be refrigerated.
