Grape Jelly

GRAPE JELLY (EASY!)

Microwave Recipe (need four half-pint jelly jars)

Before making, pour hot water over jar lids and rings. Set aside.

In a large bowl combine: (I use a glass bowl with handle made by Pampered Chef)

2 cups Grape Juice, unsweetened (Welch's is best)
3 1/2 cups sugar

Heat on high for 10-12 minutes in microwave for 10-12 minutes until mixture is boiling. Stir twice during first 4 minutes of heating.

Stir in:

1 packet liquid pectin (Certo or other brand) (usually has two packets per box)

Heat 4-6 minutes until mixture comes to a full boil. Boil an additional one minute. Skim off any foam. Spoon or pour into jars (careful, it is hot!). Wipe edges of jar with clean paper damp paper towel before placing lids on top. Screw tight. Jars will *pop* as the jelly sets and cools.

Makes four beautiful 1/2 pint jars of jelly. Enjoy!

My kids grew up on this jelly and do not like it when I buy store bought jelly. You can use other kinds of juice, too. Great for quick gifts at Christmas or any other time.
