How To Make Sugar Free Grape Jelly

Hey y’all! Today, I’m getting into a sweet treat that brings back some good old memories. Yes, you guessed it—it’s grape jelly time! This mason jar of goodness is just what your breakfast table needs, and trust me, it’s as easy as pie. Let’s dive right into this delightful recipe that’ll have everyone asking for seconds.

Grape Jelly

This jelly is not only delicious but also incredibly versatile. You can spread it on toast, slather it on peanut butter sandwiches, or even use it in your favorite desserts. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

4 cups of grape juice (freshly squeezed is best)
1 box of pectin (such as Sure-Jell)
5 cups of sugar
1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional, but adds a nice zing)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps, and soon you’ll have your very own jars of grape jelly:

First up, gather all your ingredients and sterilize your jars. Make sure they’re squeaky clean to keep everything fresh!
In a large pot, pour in that beautiful grape juice and bring it to a boil. Stir it occasionally, and don’t let it boil over!
Once your grape juice is boiling, mix in the pectin. Keep stirring until fully dissolved. This usually takes about a minute or two.
Now, it’s time to add the sugar. Throw it all in at once and stir like your life depends on it! You want that sugar to dissolve completely, and the mixture should come back to a boil.
Let it boil for about one more minute. If you added lemon juice, now’s the time to mix it in as well!
Next, remove the pot from heat and let your jelly rest for about 5 minutes. This helps it settle.
Finally, ladle the hot jelly into your sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Seal those babies up with lids.
Let them cool at room temperature, then store them in the fridge or pantry!

And there you have it, folks! Your very own homemade grape jelly. Takes a little love and patience, but trust me, the taste is worth every second spent in the kitchen. Enjoy it on toast, with a biscuit, or even straight up with a spoon. Happy canning!
