Ingredients
- 4 cups of seedless grapes
- 1 cup of honey
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of pectin
Directions
- Wash the grapes thoroughly and remove any stems or leaves.
- Place the grapes in a medium-sized saucepan and mash them using a potato masher or the back of a spoon.
- Cook the mashed grapes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until they become soft and release their juices.
- Strain the grape mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
- Return the strained grape juice to the saucepan and add the honey, lemon juice, and pectin. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling for about 5 minutes or until the jam thickens slightly.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool for a few minutes.
- Transfer the jam to clean, sterilized jars and seal tightly.
- Allow the jam to cool completely before refrigerating. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Enjoy your homemade grape honey jam on toast, crackers, or as a delicious filling for cakes and pastries.
