Grape Jelly
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.

How to Make Crab Apple Jelly
When it comes to jelly, crab apple is one of my family’s favorites. It is sweet and sour and tastes great in recipes.
