This Homemade Grape Jam is bursting with rich grape flavor and comes together with only three simple ingredients. It’s naturally fruity, perfectly spreadable, and delicious on toast, biscuits, yogurt, pancakes, or paired with cheese.

Ingredients:

•   5 cups seedless black grapes
•   1 cup granulated sugar
•   1 tbsp lemon (juice)

Ingredients are subject to availability at local stores. Unavailable items will be automatically substituted at best-effort.

Directions

1. Remove the GRAPES from their stems, rinse thoroughly, and drain well.
2. Add the GRAPES, SUGAR, and LEMON JUICE to a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
3. Use an immersion blender or potato masher to crush the grapes until mostly broken down, leaving a little texture if desired.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
5. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
6. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 40–60 MINUTES, stirring often, until the jam thickens.
7. To test for doneness, lift a spoonful of jam. If it falls slowly in thick drops or sheets, it’s ready.
8. Remove from the heat and allow the jam to cool slightly. It will continue thickening as it cools.
9. Transfer to clean jars and refrigerate overnight before serving for the best texture.
10. If canning, sterilize the jars with hot soapy water or run them through the dishwasher before filling.
