How to Make Concord Grape Jam

  1. Wash and stem 4 pounds of concord grapes.
  2. Combine the grapes, 1 cup of water, and 1/4 cup lemon juice in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, gently mashing the grapes occasionally to release their juice.
  3. Stir in 6 cups of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup pectin. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down), stirring constantly. Boil hard for 1 minute.
  4. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  5. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  6. Wipe the jar rims clean, place lids and bands on jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
  7. Remove jars from the canner and let them cool completely. You should hear a satisfying "pop" sound as the jars seal.
