Method
- Start by washing the scuppernong grapes thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- In a large pot, combine the grapes and water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once the grapes are soft, pour the mixture through a jelly bag or fine strainer into another pot. Let it drip for about 30 minutes to extract all the juice.
- Measure out 4 cups of the grape juice.
- Return the juice to the pot and stir in the sugar and lemon juice.
- Sprinkle the pectin over the juice mixture, stirring well to dissolve.
- Heat the mixture over high heat until it reaches a rolling boil.
- Boil for about 5-10 minutes, then test for doneness by placing a spoonful on a cold plate.
Notes
Homemade jelly can be stored for about a year in sealed jars, and opened jars last about three weeks in the fridge.
