My thoughts would be that I found the Jam to be a lovely deep color and it tasted sweeter than I expected so make sure you add sugar and taste. It had a beautiful consistency and is one of the easiest I have tried. I am linking this to hearth & soul blog hop.
Ingredients
Red Grapes - 2 cups, cleaned
Sugar - 3-5 tbsp (adjust based on sweetness of fruit)
Lime juice/ Citric Acid - 1 tbsp
Water - 1/4 cup in case you want to increase quantity
Method
- Stem and clean the grapes, put it in a mixie and blend it into a smooth fine paste
- Strain the juice and again blend the skin and pulp
- Take a non stick pan and once hot (medium heat) add the pulp and start stirring it once hot add the sugar and then the lime juice/acid keep stirring until the mixture thickens, if you want more quantity add water and mix well, it would take around 20-22 minutes
- Later to test the jam, put a tsp of jam in a plate and after it cools down and remains solid and not runny you can be sure than the consistency is right
- Store in a clean and dried bottle
Serve jam with bread
Note
- I did not use any artificial colors or flavors and the Jam was so good just like the store bought one, although I did not find the distinctive taste of red grape, i loved the lovely bright color
- In case you are adding water, the color may not look so vibrant
- Make sure you add more grapes as the quantity reduces to half or even less at the end of cooking process
