Ingredients:
* 3 lbs ripe Concord Grapes
* 3 cups Sugar (see Tips)
Tips:
Sugar: The book suggests using additional 1 cup (total 4 cups) if you prefer your jam sweeter. I used only 3 cups and for us it was quite sweet already.
Method:
* Wash the grapes well in cold water. Pick the Grapes off their stems.
* Squeeze them out of their skins into a stainless steel pot. Its totally fine if a little skin stays stuck to the pulp.
* Its a cumbersome process indeed but it doesn't take as long as you might think. The book suggested something on the lines of 15 minutes. For me, inspite of distractions galore from a little one trying to whisk the grape from the table to trying to capture photos, it took only 30 minutes.
* Set aside the Grape skins. You will be using them later.
* Yay! Pink fingers! Well you might have colored fingers even after washing them and you will be fated to remain with pink palms for the rest of your life..err..ahem! OK! Bad joke I know!
* Place this pot of grape pulp over medium heat. Cover and bring to a gentle boil. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
* When the grapes have broken down to a mush remove them from the heat.
* Place a large bowl in the sink and set the sieve over it. Pour the grape pulp into the sieve and using a wooden spoon, push down the pulp through the mesh. Discard the seeds.
* Add the grape skin to the pulp and bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil for 2 minutes wherein you will notice that the now this mixture has turned dark thanks to the color of the grape skins.
* Alternatively while the jam was coming to a boil, warm the sugar in an 150F oven.
* Gradually add the warm sugar, stirring in 1 cup at a time to the pulp.
* Bring back to a rolling boil and cook stirring constantly till Deep purple comes.
