GRAPE MARMALADE
4 quarts grapes 2 cups sugar (approximately) 1/2 lemon rind
Wash grapes. Separate skins and pulp. Simmer pulp until soft. Remove seeds in colander. Combine skins and pulp.
Measure skins and pulp. Add 2/3 as much sugar as combined skins and pulp. (I use less sugar, about 1/2 of above, to accent tartness.) Simmer slowly, stirring frequently, until juice sheets from spoon. Add the slivered skin of 1/2 lemon when half done.
Place in sterilized jars. Store in refrigerator and use within 4 weeks. |
