How to Make Grape Jelly From Frozen Concentrate

  1. Measure 3 cups of concord grape juice concentrate into a 6-8 quart saucepot.
  2. Add 3 cups of water to the saucepot and stir well to combine.
  3. Measure 7 cups of granulated sugar and set aside in a separate bowl.
  4. Add 1 box of powdered fruit pectin (check package instructions for exact amount) to the grape juice mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure no clumps remain.
  5. Place the saucepot on the stove over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. This is crucial for proper setting.
  6. Once a rolling boil is achieved, immediately add the 7 cups of granulated sugar. Stir vigorously to dissolve the sugar completely.
  7. Return the mixture to a full rolling boil—a boil that cannot be stirred down—and maintain this boil for exactly one minute, stirring constantly. This is essential for setting.
  8. Remove the saucepot from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes.
  9. Carefully skim off any foam that has formed on the surface of the jelly.
  10. Using a ladle, immediately pour the hot jelly into sterilized 7-8 ounce hot glass jars, leaving ½-inch headspace at the top of each jar.
  11. Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. Ensure jars are fully submerged during processing.
  12. Remove jars from boiling water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a popping sound as the jars seal.
