Serve this Old Fashioned Grape Jam on your work or school lunch sandwiches, on top of an oven baked cheesecake or inside some freshly baked scones with double whipped fresh cream.
Using only grapes and sugar and following these few simple steps, you can create your own homemade grape jam condiment, just like grandma used to make!
To make Old Fashioned Grape Jam, you will need the following ingredients:
Seed grapes by squeezing the grape flesh out of the skin. Cook the pulp down but putting the pulp through a fine mesh strainer and then re-combining the filtered pulp with the grape skins.
In a large saucepan, mix the grapes skins, grape pulp and sugar and cook for 10-15 minutes until mixture reaches a gel-like texture. Test the consistency on an ice cold plate or with a candy thermometer.
Once set, divide the jam into prepare canning jars, leaving ¼-inch space, open from the top.
If using immediately, store in the refrigerator to chill.
Place jars in a water bath canner and process for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and allow the jars to rest in the water for a further 5 minutes.
Remove jars from the water bath and rest for 24-48 hours to set to a complete gel and store in a cool, dry place.
