Equipment

  • 1 Paper towels

Ingredients

  • 4 cup muscadine grapes
  • 4 cup cold water
  • 2 teaspoon pectin

Instructions

  • 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.
