Cooking Time: 53 minutes
Ingredients
What you need
- 1 Digital scales
- 1 Set of measuring spoons
- 1 preserving pan or similar large pan
- 1 stick blender
- 1 long wooden spoon
- 1 jam funnel
- 3 Saucers or small plates
- 3 500 ml jam jars with lids
- 1.7 kg / 3 lb 12 oz seedless grapes I used equal quantities or red, black & green grapes
- 1 kg / 2 lb 3 oz granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
Method
Place grapes, sugar and lemon juice into a preserving pan or similar.
Using a gentle heat dissolve the sugar slowly, stirring frequently.
As the mixture heats up break up some of the grapes with your wooden spoon or use a potato masher in order the release the grapes’ juices.
Once all the sugar has dissolved fully (around 20 minutes) take the mixture off the heat and use a stick blender to blend the grapes to a juice like consistency.
Put pan back on the heat, bring to a rolling boil and then time for 25 minutes, stirring continuously. (You could start with 23 minutes as depending on freshness and variety of grapes the setting time can vary a little).
Take the pan off the heat and test for set by placing a few drops of the jam on a chilled saucer and place in fridge for a minute.
The jam should form a crinkle when you push your finger through it.
If not then boil for another 2 minutes and re-test until set is achieved.
Pot up in hot jars and place lids on immediately.
Store in a cool dry place and once opened keep in fridge.
