Jam

After washing and destemming the grapes, they have to boil.
It's quite a process straining them! 

It seems like a small amount after the hoards of grapes we picked!
The kids were wanting to make grape juice or jelly with our concord grapes.  It all smelled delicious, but was a bit of a process compared to strawberry jam.  I think ours is really more a jam then jelly, as the cheesecloth didn't keep it all out.  I ended up blending it with the Vita Mix! 

Here's the question - is liquidy jam really syrup?  If so, we might have made grape syrup!  I think my pectin amount was a bit off ....

ha..ha...sounds like you need some vanilla ice cream! I like to make grape jelly, but I use grape juice from the store!
