Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the grape juice, lemon juice, and powdered pectin until the pectin is fully dispersed and no lumps remain.
  2. Cover the bowl loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel to prevent splatter.
  3. Microwave on high power until the mixture reaches a full rolling boil, stirring once halfway through, which should take about 5 minutes.
  4. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and immediately add the sugar.
  5. Stir vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  6. Return the bowl to the microwave and cook on high power until the mixture returns to a rolling boil, approximately 4 minutes.
  7. Remove from the microwave and stir the mixture to distribute the heat evenly.
  8. Return the uncovered mixture to the microwave and cook for an additional 1 minute, or until the jelly sheets off a spoon when cooled slightly.
  9. Skim any foam from the surface using a spoon.
  10. Carefully pour the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving a small headspace at the top.
  11. Wipe the rims of the jars, adjust the caps, and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes to seal, or refrigerate for short-term storage.
