Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (12 ounces) Frozen grape juice concentrate (unsweetened)
- 1.5 cups Water
- 3.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 packet (1.75 ounces or 49 grams) Powdered fruit pectin
Instructions
In a large saucepan, combine the frozen grape juice concentrate and water. Stir well to fully dissolve and mix.
Add the powdered fruit pectin to the juice mixture and stir thoroughly to combine. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring frequently.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, gradually pour in the granulated sugar while continuing to stir. Bring the mixture back to a full rolling boil, which cannot be stirred down.
Boil the mixture for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from heat and skim off any foam from the surface with a spoon.
Carefully ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
Seal the jars with sterilized lids and bands. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing and preservation.
Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature. Check the seals by pressing down on the lids; they should not flex. Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate after opening.
