That can cause a fail. In any case, you should be able to pour the syrup back into a pot, add another packet of pectin, return to a boil, and then pour back into clean jars. Then do boiling water bath again. Hi Barb,

I came home looking for a good (easy!) jelly recipe and stumbled on yours. Our grapes weren't Concord because most people buy these ones for wine making, but oh my goodness! When we tasted our jelly afterwards our eyes were rolling up in our heads. It IS easy and it tastes so much better than that purple stuff you buy in the stores! The pectin box had step by step instructions that were nearly identical, but yours made it seem so much easier! Thanks for the step by step tutorial. We're all hooked. :) ~Alicia We took the kids to a local vineyard to pick our own grapes today and got to press it into juice with their big wooden press.

I bottle/can fruit and tomatos by placing the fruit raw in to jars and then proceeding as you do, but till cooked. I also make jams and jellys. Cooking the fruit and adding sugar, then boiling till a drop will set in a cold saucer, pouring in to clean warm jam jars, a greaseproof circle is placed over the jam, and a celephane circle is dampened and fastened over the neck of the jar with an elastic band.

I made my first attempt today and found that it was difficult to tell when the jelly was ready to pour into the jars. It looked too thin when I tried pouring it after boiling for one minute, so I returned it to a boil, and it still looked too thin. So I boiled it again and it did end up gelling, but is a bit stiff. I have a lot to learn! Thanks for your description of canning grape jelly. I made my first attempt today and found that it was difficult to tell when the jelly was ready to pour into the jars.
