- 4 cup muscadine grapes
- 4 cup cold water
- 2 teaspoon pectin
First, wash your muscadine grapes thoroughly under running water.
Then drain them on paper towels until all of the moisture has been removed.
Cut off both ends of each grape so it will stand upright on its own without falling over when sliced.
Place the grapes in a large pot filled with enough cold water (about 4 cups) to cover the grapes completely.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low, and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes.
Add 2 teaspoons of pectin per cup of juice to the boiling fruit, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to avoid sticking and burning.
Simmer another 5 minutes.
Strain through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer lined with dampened cloth.
Pour into hot sterilized jars, seal, and store in the refrigerator up to 3 months.
