The first thing you will need to do is pulverize your grapes to turn them into juice. Do NOT use store-bought juice.

Use a strainer to get some of the seeds out. Concord grapes can be pretty seedy, so you don’t want the jam to be crunchy.

Next, you will want to add 4 cups of your strained juice to a large pot with a pinch of salt. Bring it to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally.

Once it reaches a rolling boil, remove it from the heat. In a large bowl, add three cups of sugar, and the packet of SureJell and mix until it’s well combined.
