Concord Grape Jam Ingredients: 3 lbs concord grapes 1 1/2 cups mild flavored honey Cooking Instructions: Wash and stem grapes. Place in a large stainless or enamel pot. With a potato masher or wooden spoon mash grapes. Bring to a gentle boil and reduce heat to an "active" simmer. Simmer 10 minutes-you want to be able to crush the center of grapes easily with a wooden spoon-no bouncing back. Run the grapes through a food mill to remove seeds. Return pulp to the saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir in honey. Stir often to prevent scorching. After about 10 minutes you should not be able to stir down the boil. Test for gel point. Jelly/puree will begin to darken and thicken up. This should take around 15 to 20 minutes from the boil point, but alot depends on the amount of juice your grapes are holding-you could go up to 35 minutes. Ladle into clean hot sterile jars leaving 1/4 inch head space and seal. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. |
