CANNING MUSCADINEJELLY


Muscadines are a type of grape native to the southeastern United States. They belong to the species Vitis rotundifolia, also known as the muscadine grape or scuppernong (a specific variety of muscadine).

Muscadines thrive in the wild in my area. I find them to be more attractive and flavorful than standard grapes.

INGREDIENTS

3 Cups of muscadine juice
1 package of powdered pectin
4 1/2 Cups sugar

DIRECTIONS

Prepare canner, jars and lids. 

You should have about 4 cups of muscadine juice for a full batch. You can add more water if you are close to that amount or you can adjust the sugar & sure jel for the amount of juice you have.

Place muscadine juice in pot and whisk in pectin until dissolved. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently. 

Add sugar all at once and return to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue to boil the jelly for one minute. Remove the pot from the heat. Skim any foam from the top. 

Ladle hot jelly into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.  Adjust 2-piece caps.  Process 5 minutes in boiling water canner.  Yield about 5 half-pints.
