1st batch of grape jam done for the season 😋

[MerryBlooms]

First time making grape jam. My client grows a purple that ripens early, and Concord.

I picked a lit of the early ripened.

Used my recipe of:

8 C fruit
3 C water
1/4 lemon juice
1 1/2 pkg pectin
2 C sugar

Boil fruit and mash during cooking. Skim seeds. Use emulsion blender. Strain for remaining seeds, I had none. Return to boil, add lemon, sugar. Stir occasionally. Let boil until thickening.

Ladel into prepared jars.

Really looking forward to this batch. I've made hundreds of plum and blackberry jams, never grape. 🥰
