How to Make Easy Grape Juice Jelly

  1. In a 2-quart bowl, slowly whisk 1 box (1.75 oz) powdered pectin into 1/2 cup lukewarm water until completely dissolved. Let stand for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. In a separate 1-quart bowl, pour 1 (48 oz) bottle of thawed grape juice concentrate.
  3. Add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar to the grape juice concentrate and stir thoroughly until the sugar is dissolved.
  4. Add the remaining 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar to the dissolved pectin mixture.
  5. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  6. Add the grape juice mixture to the pectin mixture and stir well to combine.
  7. Pour the mixture into prepared canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  8. Wipe jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and tighten fingertip tight.
  9. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude if necessary).
  10. Remove jars from canner and let them cool completely. You should hear the lids 'pop' as they seal.
  11. Check seals after cooling. Refrigerate unsealed jars and use within a week. Sealed jars can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
