Grape jelly

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Bring the grapes and water to the boil in a pan, reduce the heat. Cover and simmer until the grapes burst, leave to stand on the switched-off hob for approx. 10 mins., pass through a sieve (yields approx. 1 l juice). Pour the grape juice back into the pan.

2. Step 2

   Mix the lemon juice and half of the preserving sugar with the grape juice, bring to the boil while stirring, boil fast for approx. 1 min. Add the remainder of the preserving sugar, cook over a medium heat for approx. 4 mins., stirring constantly. Skim off any foam. Ladle the jelly into the clean, pre-warmed jars while still boiling hot, fill the jars to just below the rim, seal immediately. Briefly upend any jars with a screw-top lid, leave to cool on an insulating surface.
