I have seen a lot of videos for making homemade jelly, and I believe yours is the best I have seen yet! You are clear, concise, friendly, and give me all the information that I need. This will be my first year making grape jelly. Mostly, I make jams. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m working on more videos! It’s been a ringer of a summer and we’re finally getting back into a good rhythm! Thanks for watching!
We grow champagne grapes (from my late father-in-law’s garden). They are delicious. And I am hoping to make grape jelly out of them. I hope it works out.
Well thank you so much for the complement! I’m trying to come up with some more recipes that people would enjoy! I’ve debated trying new jellies or just random meals!! Would love your input!!
A big trend is affordable meals at home but really anything homey and good to feed a family would be super informative :) you got a subscribe out of me regardless :)
You shouldn’t tighten those bands like that; eventually you’re going to have lids that buckle. And adding a 1/2 teaspoon of butter per 4 cups of juice will keep the foam away.
We used your method this morning an made muskedine grape jelly. 19 cups of fluid 15 cups of sugar. We just took the first batch out of th water bath. I hope it sets up. It is super good. Thank you for your how to video. I’ve made lots of jelly in my life but a few batches of wild blackberry did not set so I cooked it down. But this was very helpful. Thanks again from East Texas! ❤
Awesome!!! It should set overnight (at least). I just did blackberry this summer and kicked myself for not recording it. But it turned out GREAT. Oh well, next time :)
Thank you for the heads up!! I went and looked at that and it looks like a break in the sugar and the black background of the pot/stove behind me. That said, we're almost done with the last of that batch and haven't come across anything undesireable mixed in our jelly (THANK GOD, LOL)! :) Thanks for looking out!!
I have made low sugar jams for years and most people say it's better than full sugared jams but my little boy will not touch jams. He only wants jellies so I am eager to try this. Great video, thanks
My middle kiddo is suuuuper picky. And he LOVES this jelly! I make the homemade u crustables (there’s a video for this in my library) and he always asks “did you use YOUR grape jelly?” Lol so it’s definitely kid friendly!
Just to let you know that water on your lids is not an issue. Also you tighten the lids so tight. You only need to close it finger tight. The air in the jars has to be able to escape to create a suction.
Thank you! Yes someone else pointed out that I don’t have to tighten them so tight lol. I’ve changed my ways since posting this haha. Thanks for watching!!
Loved watching you may jelly but what was the roar in the background? It gave me a headache and I had to turn my speakers all the way up to hear you over the roaring sound.
Interesting, I can only hear my hvac system at a very dull volume... or maybe the rolling boil from the canning pot? Thanks for watching and for your kind words!
Is it different if u use liquid pectin bs powder? I’ve always followed the certo recipe and they have you boil juice and sugar for 1 min then add pectin and boil another minute. It’s always turned out set
Hi! I've never done kiwi strawberry. I imagine you could test it out subbing the grape juice for it, but I couldn't guarantee the results! Sounds interesting though!! I do have a video for strawberry jam too!
Oh no now I’m nervous.. I’m using Sure Jell pectin the recipe calls for 5 cups juice and 7 cups sugar.. it’s one more cup of sugar than you add. I would hate for this to not turn out…. I picked fresh grapes
I’d say follow one recipe from beginning to end. Either use my recipe or the other you are using with fresh grapes. The water bathing will be the same regardless of which recipe you use, though 😁😁
Sure!! 3 cups grape juice 1 pkg powdered pectin 4 cups sugar 1. Combine the grape juice and pectin in a saucepan or pot and bring to a boil (use wisk to get rid of lumps) * DO NOT ADD SUGAR until the jucie and pectin are at a rolling boil. 2. After the pecting/juice mixture is at a boil, stir in the sugar and bring back up to a full, rolling boil that cannot be stirred back down. Boil like this for 1 full minute. 3. Remove from heat and spoon off any foam from the top. 4. Ladel the jelly into your clean jars and screw the lids on tight. Waterbath for 10-15 minutes (at a full boil). Let stand.

I watched a lot of videos on making grape jelly and yours is by far the best! Thank you

This is the simplest and most informative vid I’ve found! I love how real and non pretentious you are.

Add about a tablespoon of butter to your jelly after you add your pectin and you’ll have very little or no foam
Ohhh good to know!!! Thank you!
Does that work well with strawberry jelly too?
@@harmonyhomestead5 butter can go rancid if canned for a long period but any neutral oil will act as a defoaming agent- just a smidge will do it!
Yes

Very nice job explaining the process starting my first batch now thanks
Thank you for the video.
When I was was a kid my mom would put the foam on little plates, make some toast and pure joy would ensue. 😋🤣
I LOVE that! What a fun memory!

I know this is old but something at 7:18 went into the jelly from the sugar. It was thick and black.

Hand tightening the lids a little too tight…. But I’m def going to try this recipe, thank you!
You’re welcome 😊

Thanks for watching!!
finger tip tight; don't crank down on them. They will not seal properly
After u open the jar do u refrigerator after used or u can leave them on the counter with the top on
I would definitely keep them in the fridge! (If for nothing else-to keep the jelly more firm!
Loved watching you may jelly but what was the roar in the background? It gave me a headache and I had to turn my speakers all the way up to hear you over the roaring sound.

Can you please give a link to where I can get the canning jar mitt you used in this video? Thanks!
I actually got that so many years ago. I just did an Amazon search and couldn’t find it! I did see some links to some silicon gloves though!🧤
@@harmonyhomestead5 Gloves I got! That mitt just seems so perfect!
Is it different if u use liquid pectin bs powder? I’ve always followed the certo recipe and they have you boil juice and sugar for 1 min then add pectin and boil another minute. It’s always turned out set
Honestly I haven't tried the liquid!!
Hi from Australia how many grams is there in the pectin packet?
1.75oz - I used a conversion tool on Google and it comes to: 49.6116654 grams
I hope this helps!!
wonderful!!!
Thanks! I plan to share my strawberry jelly recipe soon!!
Thanks for watching!
Don't tip the jars after Canning them. And you can add a pat of butter to cut the foam
Thanks for the tip!! I'm JUST NOW out of jelly and am making more today! I am going to try adding butter and not tipping them!!
i have a flat of concord grapes frozen for this purpose ; time to make jelly I guess....
Do you use prepared grape juice or do you press your own from fresh ?grapes
Hi! I use grape juice! I've tried actual fresh grapes before and I wasn't fond of the consistency!
Ty
I made the mistake of adding the sugar to the juice before the pectin.. and no it doesn't set. Lol I had to redo the batch.
Thank you very much
Oh man! Yep it’s easy, but it’s definitely a science!
Not stopping me lol
Have you tried agave!
how many cups of juice to one box of sure jell
3 cups grape juice
1 pkg powdered pectin
4 cups sugar
How do you do the kiwi strawberry juice
Hi! I've never done kiwi strawberry. I imagine you could test it out subbing the grape juice for it, but I couldn't guarantee the results! Sounds interesting though!! I do have a video for strawberry jam too!
@@harmonyhomestead5 thank you
Could you make apple jelly the same way using 100% bottled apple juice? Thank you this recipe is awesome.
I'm about to try this but with grape juice from my grapes.
How did it turn out?
Hi there! Can I use Knox unflavored gelatin instead of pectin? I'm all out of pectin unfortunately
I’m not familiar with Knox gelatin! If it does work let me know!
Question: I’ve seen many grape jelly recipes and none of them require lemon juice. Why is that?
Oh no now I’m nervous.. I’m using Sure Jell pectin the recipe calls for 5 cups juice and 7 cups sugar.. it’s one more cup of sugar than you add. I would hate for this to not turn out…. I picked fresh grapes
I’d say follow one recipe from beginning to end. Either use my recipe or the other you are using with fresh grapes. The water bathing will be the same regardless of which recipe you use, though 😁😁
So is a single receipe 3 cups of juice 3 things of pectin and 4 cups of sugar?
1 box of pectin, 4 cups of sugar, and 3 cups of grape juice. I hope that helps!!
is the pectin a low fruit pectin I just made mine using sure-jel and it was 7 cups of sugar i would love to try low sugar @@harmonyhomestead5
I heard instead of pectin you can use the peels of green Granny Smith Apples! Instead of using a product with possible unknown chemicals. 💚
Very interesting. I had not heard of that before! Thanks for watching!
Would you post the recipe please?
Sure!!
3 cups grape juice
1 pkg powdered pectin
4 cups sugar
1. Combine the grape juice and pectin in a saucepan or pot and bring to a boil (use wisk to get rid of lumps)
* DO NOT ADD SUGAR until the jucie and pectin are at a rolling boil.
2. After the pecting/juice mixture is at a boil, stir in the sugar and bring back up to a full, rolling boil that cannot be stirred back down. Boil like this for 1 full minute.
3. Remove from heat and spoon off any foam from the top.
4. Ladel the jelly into your clean jars and screw the lids on tight.
Waterbath for 10-15 minutes (at a full boil). Let stand.
