Homemade White Grape Jam
This delightful jam captures the essence of white grapes, making it a luscious addition to your pantry.
Ingredients
- 3 cups white grapes (washed and stems removed)
- ¼ cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet of fruit pectin (like Sure-Jell)
- ½ cup water
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start by making sure your jars are clean and sterilized. You can do this by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Allow them to air dry.
- In a large saucepan, combine the white grapes and water. Use a potato masher or fork to crush the grapes slightly. This helps release their juices.
- Add the lemon juice and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Once the mixture is boiling, add the fruit pectin and stir until fully dissolved. This is crucial for achieving the best jam consistency.
- At this point, add the granulated sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Allow the mixture to reach a rolling boil (where it bubbles vigorously) and let it boil for one minute. This step helps to activate the pectin, ensuring your jam sets properly.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and skim off any foam that may have formed on top. This is optional, but it will give you a clearer jam.
- Carefully pour the hot jam into your prepared jars, leaving about ¼ inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth or paper towel to ensure a good seal.
- Seal the jars with lids and process them in a boiling water bath for 5-10 minutes to ensure they’re sealed properly.
- Once the jars have cooled, check to see if the lids have sealed correctly. Store your homemade white grape jam in a cool, dark place. Enjoy!
Now you have your very own scrumptious homemade white grape jam ready to enjoy. It’s a fantastic way to bring a little sweetness to your day!
