Our gracious hosts were very generous not only of letting us stay at the lake house, but they also made a gift of 2.5 pounds of concord grapes that were grown on a trellis in their yard.
After running them through the food mill, I got 2.5 cups of juice. That is about enough for a half batch of grape jelly.
Add 3/4 cup of water and bring to simmer for 10 minutes.
Add 1/2 a package of pectin and bring to a boil, add 3 cups sugar.
Bring to boil again and let it roll for a minute stirring constantly.
Can in 1/2 pint glasses and process in water bath for 10 minutes.
I look forward to having some in the deep of winter.
Until later, Eat Well & Keep Digging!
