Ingredients
- 4 c. grape juice (takes abt 3 1/2 lbs Concord grapes, and 1/2 c. water)

- To prepare juice. Select about one-fourth underripe and three-fourths fully ripe grapes. Sort, wash, and remove stems from grapes. Crush grapes, add in water, cover and bring to boil on high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 min. Extract juice.
- To prevent formation of tartrate crystals in the jelly, let juice stand in a cold place overnight, then strain through two thicknesses of damp cheesecloth to remove crystals.
