EASY HOMEMADE CONCORD GRAPE JELLY RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• It is really important to read the label on your fruit juice. Make sure it says 100% juice. Don't use juice from concentrate or any with added ingredients, like high fructose corn syrup. Measure 3 cups grape juice in a 4-cup or larger liquid measuring cup. Gradually whisk pectin into juice until fully incorporated. (Pectin will not be completely dissolved at this time.) Pour juice mixture into the clean Pot fitted with the Stirrer. Cook the grape juice pectin mixture until comes to a boil. Add butter/margarine to help reduce foaming. PRESS jelly button - the cook time will automatically default to 25 minutes. Press enter. WAIT 4 minutes for appliance to sound 4 short beeps indicating that it is time to add sugar. Add sugar gradually while Stirrer continues running. THE APPLIANCE will continue to automatically stir your ingredients while it cooks. Stay within earshot of the Jam & Jelly Maker, the appliance will beep again at the end of the process signaling jelly cooking is complete. Press cancel and unplug the appliance. REMOVE Stirrer using a pot holder. Skim foam, if necessary, from top of jelly. FOR THE CONVENTIONAL/STOVETOP WAY: Add the sugar and let it come to a hard boil for one minute. You can test the mixture by freezing a spoon, and dipping it into the mixture. If it thickens up, it's ready. If not, bring it to a boil for another minute. PRESERVE jelly immediately. I use the water canning method, so I can enjoy this all year-long.
