Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups grape juice freshly squeezed if possible
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 1 box pectin Sure-Jell or similar
  • 7 cups sugar granulated
  • 0.25 tsp butter optional, to reduce foaming

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Keep the jars in the hot water until ready to use.
  • In a large pot, combine grape juice and pectin. Stir in water and bring to a rapid boil over high heat, stirring frequently.
  • Add sugar all at once and return to a full rolling boil. Add butter to reduce foaming, if desired.
  • Boil for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  • Quickly ladle jelly into hot, sterilized jars. Leave 1/4 inch of headspace. Secure lids and rings.
  • Process the jars in a water bath canner for 5 minutes. Remove jars and cool completely before storing.

Notes

For best results, use ripe and sweet grapes to extract the juice. Adjust the sugar level if using very sweet or very tart grapes.
