Steps:
- 1. Briskly boil grapes on stove top until whole grapes "pop" under the pressure of a spoon. Transfer to a canning sieve and press the pulp. Squeeze the left over remaining pulp through cheese cloth
- 2. Add the thick juice to a saucepan and add sugar, cooking slowly until dissolved. Rapidly boil until jellying point. We used the "plate test" to determine when the jelly was ready.
- 3. Pour jelly, boiling hot, into prepared canning jars - leaving ½ inch head space per recommendation for Weck jars. Process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

Steps:
- It is really important to read the label on your fruit juice. Make sure it says 100% juice. Don't use juice from concentrate or any with added ingredients, like high fructose corn syrup. Measure 3 cups grape juice in a 4-cup or larger liquid measuring cup. Gradually whisk pectin into juice until fully incorporated. (Pectin will not be completely dissolved at this time.) Pour juice mixture into the clean Pot fitted with the Stirrer. Cook the grape juice pectin mixture until comes to a boil. Add butter/margarine to help reduce foaming. PRESS jelly button - the cook time will automatically default to 25 minutes. Press enter. WAIT 4 minutes for appliance to sound 4 short beeps indicating that it is time to add sugar. Add sugar gradually while Stirrer continues running. THE APPLIANCE will continue to automatically stir your ingredients while it cooks. Stay within earshot of the Jam & Jelly Maker, the appliance will beep again at the end of the process signaling jelly cooking is complete. Press cancel and unplug the appliance. REMOVE Stirrer using a pot holder. Skim foam, if necessary, from top of jelly. FOR THE CONVENTIONAL/STOVETOP WAY: Add the sugar and let it come to a hard boil for one minute. You can test the mixture by freezing a spoon, and dipping it into the mixture. If it thickens up, it's ready. If not, bring it to a boil for another minute. PRESERVE jelly immediately. I use the water canning method, so I can enjoy this all year-long.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy Concord grapes.
- Wash the grapes thoroughly before using them.
- If you don't have a jelly bag, you can use a cheesecloth-lined colander to strain the grape juice.
- Be patient when cooking the jelly. It takes time for the pectin to set and the jelly to thicken.
- Canning the jelly is a great way to preserve it for later use.

Homemade Concord grape jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, crackers, or fruit salad. It's also a great way to use up a bumper crop of grapes.
