Grape Jelly
4 lbs slightly underripe concord grapes
1 cup water
sugar
Day before; wash, stem and crush grapes. Put in a large pot, add water
and bring to a boil. Boil over medium heat for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and pour through a jelly bag, or large sieve, lined with
several layers of cheese cloth. Allow juice to drip through without pressing
grapes against side of bag or sieve. Let stand in a cool place overnight.
Next day, measure juice; return to pot. Add 3/4 cups sugar to every 1 cup
of juice. Cook over low heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil rapidly
to jelly stage (220 degrees). pour into hot sterilized jars; seal at once.
