More Jelly and juice
As summer peaked the grapes on our wild grapevine went crazy, I was under the weather so I missed a lot of the harvest but we were able to get 5-gallon jars of juice and 2 jars of jelly
How to make the jelly and juice
- 4 3/4 cups Grape juice ( you can stop here for juice )
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 box powdered pectin
- 7 cups sugar
- Measure out 7 cups of sugar into a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a large pot combine grape juice, lemon juice, and pectin.
- Bring to a full rolling boil (will not stop bubbling even when stirred).
- Once boiling, add sugar all at once, stirring well to combine.
- Bring back to a full rolling boil and boil rapidly, stirring constantly for 1 minute exactly. Immediately remove from heat, skim off any foam and ladle into hot sterilized jars, filling to 1/8 inch from the top.
