Grape Juice and Jam image

A wonderful, economical recipe which gives both crystal clear juice and tasty jam from the same grapes. The juice turn a deep jewel like purple when you add the sugar. Makes a nice Christmas drink. Can reduce the amount of sugar to 3/4 Kg if health conscious!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my jam didn't turn out well. It's too runny and it doesn't have much flavor.
