Instructions
- Wash the grapes and remove from the stems.
- Squeeze each grape between your fingers to break the skin.
- Place the grapes into a saucepan with the water.
- Bring to the boil and boil uncovered for 20-30 minutes or until grapes are tender.
- If you are using grapes with seeds, scoop out seeds as grapes are boiling.
- Take off the heat and mash the grapes with a fork or potato masher to break them down further.
- Add lemon and sugar and stir over medium heat to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil again and then turn heat down to achieve a steady simmer.
- Simmer for about 7-10 minutes if using jam setting sugar or 20 minutes if using ordinary sugar, or until jam jells.
- Pour into warmed sterilised jar and seal immediately.
Notes
- Q. What type of grapes work best?
- Any variety, though red grapes tend to produce a fuller flavoured and beautifully coloured jam. Seedless grapes also mean you don't have to worry about scooping out the seeds.
- Q. Do I need to add pectin?
- If using seedless grapes, which have less pectin, jam setting sugar is recommended though not strictly necessary.
- Q. How can I tell when the jam is set?
- The jam will become thicker and grab the bottom of the saucepan if you stir or swirl it around when it's ready.
- Q. How do I store this jam?
- Once cool, I store my jam in the fridge and it lasts at least 6 weeks.
- You can do your own research on water baths and sealing jars if you'd like to preserve the jam longer.
