Number Of Ingredients 2

2 quarts grapes - I used a mixture of concord, red, and white grapes.
6 cups sugar

Steps:

Start by preparing jars,and get water in your canner heating. Grape Jam Recipe: Place grapes in a stock pot and mash lightly with a potato masher to start juice flowing. Heat on medium heat until grapes are soft and juicy. Run grapes through a food mill or squeezo strainer to remove skins and seeds. I ended up with about 5 cups juicy pulp. Place a spoon in the freezer...trust me you'll use it in a bit, just do it. Combine this with 6 cups sugar. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Boil rapidly. As jam thickens skim off the foam if necessary. Check to see if jam has gelled. Take a little bit of jam in that frozen spoon in your freezer. (did you do it?) The spoon will quickly cool a bit of jam and you can see if it is starting to jel. Ladle into hot pint jars leaving 1/4 inch head space. Wipe rims and place two piece canning lids. Pack and process according to water bath canning instructions. Don't forget to adjust for altitude. Processing time : 1/2 pints or pints Process for 10 minutes if you are below 6000 ft elevation. 15 minutes if you are above 6000 ft elevation.
