Recipe Introduction
Mother made so so so much of this when I was little. I no longer eat it. LOL.. I did the same thing to my children with Crab Apple Jelly......LOL> I even traded Other Jellys and fruit and Vegetables with friends. One quart for one quart. Which made my children happy with Strawberry Jam from Margaret.Even got some great string beans too.
List of Ingredients
2 quarts Concord grapes
6 cups sugarRecipe
To prepare pulp: Separate pulp from skins of grapes. Chop skins. Cook gently
15 to 20 minutes, adding only enough water to prevent sticking, about 1/2
cup. Cook pulp without water until soft. Press through a sieve or food mill
to remove seeds.
To prepare jam: Combine pulp, skins and sugar in a large saucepot. Bring
slowly to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook rapidly to the gelling
point, about 10 minutes. As mixture thickens, stir frequently to prevent
sticking. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Ladle hot jam into hot
jars, leaving 1/4th inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 15 minutes
in a boiling water canner.
Yield: about 3 pints.
