Grape Jelly

 

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.
• Place sterilized tops and rings on jars and tighten rings firmly, then wait for the pop sound to tell you they are sealed
