Grape Jelly

Grape Jelly so easy and so tasty. It is my daughter's favorite. Makes 5 Cups.

Ingredients:
3 Cups of unsweetened Grape Juice
1 package of powdered pectin
4 1/2 Cups Sugar

Utensils:
Jars
Sauce Pan
Mixing Spoon
Water Bath Canner

Wash the jars with hot water. Boil the lid to soften the seal, leave it in the water until it is needed. Fill the water boiler half full and bring to a boil. In a sauce pan bring the grape juice to a boil. Add the pectin. Once dissolved, add the sugar, and stir until it dissolves. It should come back up to a boil. Let boil for 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat. If foam developed skim off with a spoon. Put the jelly into each of the jars leaving 1/2 inch space at the top. Wipe the top of the jar clean and place the top on. Place the rack for the canner inside and place the jars on the rack. The jars should be covered by water by at least an inch. Add boiling water if necessary. Place the canner lid and let boil for 10 minutes. (aka process for 10 minutes) Then turn the heat off and take the lid off of the canner. Let cool for 5 minutes than remove the jars. Place them on a towel at least 1 inch apart and let cool completely 12-24 hours. The canning process will have been successful if the lid does not pop up and down anymore.
