Grape Jam

So I would consider it one of my hobbies to take seasonal cheap fruit and make preserves. It’s December here in Texas. The citrus fruits come into season soon. January and February are big for oranges and grapefruit. Basically the only thing that is on sale is northern fruit, that stores for a while like pears and apples, and grapes which I really don’t know where they’re coming from. Anyways seedless grapes are pretty easy for preperation. You basically just pick off the stems and throw them away. For this you will need a stick blender and a large pan. Anyways on to the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 5 lbs seedless grapes
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 small limes
• Water to cover grapes in pan

Instructions:

1. Destem grapes and place in large pan.
2. Add water so all grapes are completely submerged.
3. Juice limes into mixture.
4. Cook over medium high heat until grapes are softened.
5. With stick blender liquify mixture.
6. Add sugar and stir.
7. Remove liquid from mixture until you can see empty pan behind your stirring utensil.
8. Allow to cool, package, and enjoy.
