• 4 1/2 pounds Concord Grapes

• 2 pounds superfine sugar

• 1/4 cup water

Directions

1. De-stem and peel the grapes, reserving the skins.

4. Blend the grape skins with ¼ cup water until smooth.

5. Pour the blended skins into the pulp, then add the sugar, lemon juice, and salt. 6. Bring the grape mixture to a boil, then turn it down to a simmer.

7. Cook the jam for 34 to 45 minutes or until thickened, stirring intermittently. 8. Spoon off any foam from the surface of the jam, then spoon it into hot clean jars. Leave 1/2 inch headspace.

9. Remove air bubbles. Clean jar rim. Center lid on jar and adjust band to fingertip-tight. 10. Process pint jars for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and remove cover. Let jars cool 5 minutes. #concordgrapes #grapes #grapejam #canningandpreserving #canningseason #canning #foodie #fyp
