How to Make Concord Grape Jelly

Ingredients

• 3.5 pounds concord grapes 
• 6 fluid ounce liquid pectin 
• 0.5 cup water 
• 7 cups sugar white

Equipment

• pot
• cheesecloth

Directions

1. Sort and wash grapes, and remove stems.
2. Place them into a large kettle and crush them.
3. Add water, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Remove from heat, and extract juice. Allow the juice to stand in a cool place overnight to prevent the formation of crystals in the jelly.
5. Strain the juice through a double thickness of damp cheesecloth. Measure 4 cups of the juice into a large pot. Stir in the sugar. Quickly bring to a full rolling boil. Stir in pectin, and allow to boil hard for 1 minute.
6. Remove from heat, and skim off foam.
7. Pour into hot sterile jars, and process for 5 minutes in a boiling water bath.
