Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh seedless grapes
- 2.5 cups Sugar
- 1 package Powdered pectin
- 0.75 cup Water
Instructions
Wash the fresh seedless grapes thoroughly under cold water and remove any stems.
Blend the grapes in a food processor or blender until smooth. Keep blending if you prefer a fully pureed jam or pulse lightly if you like small fruit chunks for texture.
Measure out exactly 4 cups of blended grape puree and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small saucepan, combine the powdered pectin and 3/4 cup of water. Stir well to dissolve the pectin.
Bring the pectin and water mixture to a boil over medium-high heat while stirring constantly. Let it boil for 1 minute, then remove it from the heat.
Add the hot pectin mixture to the bowl of grape puree and stir thoroughly for about 2-3 minutes until well combined.
Gradually stir in 2.5 cups of sugar. Stir for another 3-5 minutes, or until the sugar is fully dissolved. The mixture will begin to thicken slightly.
Ladle the jam into clean, freezer-safe containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top to allow for expansion in the freezer.
Seal the containers tightly with their lids and let sit at room temperature for 24 hours to set.
Store the jam in the freezer for up to 1 year or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Thaw in the refrigerator before using. Enjoy!
