    List of Ingredients




    4 pounds concord grapes
    1/2 c. water
    7 1/2 cups sugar
    1 packet powered pectin
    1 Tbsp. lemon juice

    Recipe



    Wash grapes and squeeze pulp from skins.

    Put pulp and water in sauce pan and simmer covered for 5 mins.

    Strain the pulp to remove seeds and set aside in bowl.

    Simmer grape skins with a splash of water for 5 mins. Grind skins in food processor and strain through sieve to remove any bulk. Add skins to pulp mixture.

    Now measure 6 cups grape mixture and return to sauce pan (I use heavy bottom stainless to prevent sticking). Add lemon juice and pectin packet and bring to full boil...boil 1 minute.

    Add sugar while stirring constantly...bring to full ROLLING boil and boil HARD 1 minute constantly stirring. Be careful...mixture rises as it boils and it is VERY hot.

    Take off heat and skim foam.

    Fill into HOT and sterlized jelly jars (I use 8 oz. jars) to 1/8 inch from top. Wipe rims and place hot and sterilized tops and screws and screw HAND TIGHT. Place in water-bath canning pot with water just covering jars. Bring to boil and boil 10 minutes.

    Remove from canner and place hot jars in draft-free area to cool overnight. You will hear popping noises as the tops are sealing. Store with screw tops on or off...I leave them on. Can decorate for gifts with colored material and ribbons.

    Yield 8 jars
