Grape Jelly

Imagine spreading luscious grape jelly over a warm slice of toast or pairing it with your favorite peanut butter for a classic sandwich. This recipe will guide you through making your very own grape jelly from scratch.

Ingredients

3 cups of grape juice (preferably 100% juice)
1 box (1.75 oz) Sure Jell fruit pectin
4 cups of granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon of butter (optional, to reduce foam)
Wash and sterilize canning jars and lids

Instructions

Start by preparing your jars. Ensure they are clean and sterilized. You can do this by placing them in boiling water for 10 minutes.
In a large pot, add the grape juice and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Stir in the Sure Jell fruit pectin and continue to stir until the mixture returns to a rapid boil. This should take about a minute.
Next, carefully add in the granulated sugar, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture back to a rolling boil and let it boil for exactly 1 minute.
If you notice any foam, you can add a quarter teaspoon of butter to reduce it.
Once done, remove the pot from heat and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Skim off any foam from the top if needed.
Pour the hot jelly into your prepared jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to ensure a proper seal.
Place the sterilized lids on the jars, and screw on the metal bands snugly but not overly tight.
Process the jars in boiling water for about 5-10 minutes to ensure they’re sealed properly. Adjust the time depending on your altitude.
Once the process is done, remove the jars from the water and let them cool completely on a countertop.
Check each jar to ensure they’ve sealed correctly. You can press the center of the lid; if it pops back up, the jar did not seal.

And there you have it! Your homemade Sure Jell grape jelly is ready to be enjoyed! Feel free to experiment with other fruits or flavors – the possibilities are endless. This recipe will surely become a staple in your kitchen!
