Concord Grape Jelly
Recipe information
Yield
Makes about 315 g (1 1/4 cups)
Ingredients
50 g sugar (1/4 cup)
3 g pectin NH (see page 20) (1 1/2 teaspoons)
0.5 g kosher salt (1/8 teaspoon)
1/2 recipe Concord Grape Juice (page 64)
Preparation
Step 1
Whisk together the sugar, pectin, and salt in a medium pot or saucepan. Slowly whisk in the grape juice and bring to a full, rolling boil. Reduce the heat and cook at a low boil for 2 minutes to activate the pectin and turn the juice into a beautiful jelly. Your kitchen will begin to smell like grape-flavored bubble gum. This is a good sign.
Step 2
Once the pectin has been activated and coats the back of a spoon, remove the jelly from the heat. The jelly can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
