Grape Jelly

October 10, 2014

Grape jelly, especially Concord grape, is one of my kids’ favorite jellies. We used unsweetened grape juice that was made of a blend of grape juices from the grocery store for this recipe, but fresh Concord Grape Juice has the best flavor.

My husband and I write about our simple life here on Mama's Homestead and teach classes on our homestead in central Ohio, where we raise goats, chickens, and rabbits, have an orchard, garden, keep bees, and much more. Read More…
