Rosy Grape Jelly
This easy-to-follow recipe will guide you through the process of creating your very own grape jelly at home. It’s a fun activity that can also be delightful for the whole family!
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of grape juice (freshly made or store-bought)
- 1 package (1.75 oz) fruit pectin (like Sure-Jell)
- 5 cups of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of lemon juice
Instructions:
- Start by preparing your jars. Make sure they are clean and sterilized by boiling them in water for 10 minutes to ensure they’re ready for your jelly.
- In a large pot, combine the grape juice and lemon juice over medium heat. Stir in the fruit pectin and bring it to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
- Once the mixture is boiling, quickly add in the granulated sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Increase the heat and bring the mixture back to a full boil. Allow it to boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. This helps the jelly to set perfectly!
- Remove the pot from heat, and skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.
- Carefully pour the hot jelly into the prepared jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue before placing the lids on.
- Put the lids on the jars and process them in a boiling water bath for about 5-10 minutes to ensure they’re sealed properly. This step is essential to prevent spoilage.
- Once done, let the jars cool to room temperature before storing them in a cool, dark place. Your delicious Rosy Grape Jelly is now ready to enjoy!
Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful jelly any time of the day! It’s a delightful addition to breakfast, snacks, or any meal where you want to add a touch of sweetness. Happy jelly making!
