Once the grape juice has come to a boil, add 2 cups of organic sugar mixed in with the pectin and whisk through for 2 minutes. To make the grape jelly, all you need to do is heat up the fruit juice in a heavy bottomed sauce pan, add the calcium solution and lemon juice, and then bring that to a boil. For jams, my sweetener of choice is honey. I prefer to sweeten my jelly with organic sugar to ensure a thicker consistency. To make the grape jelly it literally takes about 10 minutes. If you’ve been a reader at My Humble Kitchen for awhile, you’ll know that I use Pamona’s Universal Pectin in my jam and jelly making since, in my opinion, it’s the easiest method and one that allows you to naturally sweeten or use less organic sugar in your preserve.

How to Can Jelly With Fruit Juice in Weck Jars I was so pleased that the process couldn’t have been simpler. So I was excited to put up a small batch of grape jelly in them. I never understood how they could possibly get a good seal with a rubber gasket. I’ve had my eyes on Weck jars for a long time but was honestly a little bit intimidated by them. They’re becoming quite popular within the United States and Canada especially since their lids are BPA free – a reason why Mighty Nest carries Weck jars in their online store. They are unique in that they consist of a tempered glass jar, a rubber gasket, a separate glass lid, and metal clamps to hold the gasket and lid in place. Weck jars are a popular canning in jar in Europe. They sent me the 160ml mini sized Weck jars and 1/2 liter tulip jars! I was thrilled and I’m sure any seasoned canner knows why… they’re gorgeous! I love their online natural and organic store, especially that they donate 15% of your purchases to the local school of your choice. Since I use Pamona’s Universal Pectin in all of my jam and jelly making, canning in the wintertime, couldn’t be easier. My boys’ favorite juice to make into jelly is an organic concord grape juice from TJ’s. Jelly, in my opinion is a great option for winter canning (well, besides marmalade and citrus curds but I’ll save that for a later post) since you can readily buy great organic fruit juices free of sugar at your local organic markets. So it ends up being clear and gelatinous. Jelly on the other hand is made with fruit juice.
So it ends up being filled with the fruit pulp. That’s right… jam or preserves is made by using crushed fruit. You can never have enough strawberry jam however, grape jelly is a close second!Įven though you can’t do a lot of jamming in the winter time, it doesn’t mean you can’t jelly it up!

They usually have a sad face about them as they slowly hand me a jar of peach or apple (It’s their least favorite).įor this reason alone, a large strawberry patch is making it into my gardening plans this year. It happens every year around this time – my family starts to run out of our favorite berry jam’s that we preserved in the spring and summer of the previous year. I can usually tell we’ve run out of my boys’ favorite jam when they come upstairs dragging their feet after I’ve sent them to fetch a new jar from our pantry in the basement.
