It sealed and jelled up nice. We have used all year and is good. Two weeks ago I opened a new one and still good. We had a 99 degree heat spell for a week. I went to open a new one two days ago and it was still sealed but has gotten a little runny. Still has jell in,middle though. All of the remaining jars did this. Any ideas? I have tried our local health dept and food areas at universities and no one knows. They all say it should be safe since still sealed. I have a problem with my grape jelly that I canned last year.

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.
