I have concord and catawba grapes in my backyard and find this far easier than trying to make wine. The key is to pick 'em before the wildlife gets 'em...lol

Steps

15 to 20 minute

1

Remove all of the stems and seeds from the grapes and wash them very well.
2

Prepare your canning jars according to instructions. Handling and boiling instructions come with most jars or look online.
3

Place fruit in a blender. Pulse a few times until you get a coarse purée.
4

Add blended grapes, sugar, and fresh lemon juice to heavy-bottomed saucepan.
5

Cook on medium-high heat, uncovered, until the juices start to thicken, making sure to stir often. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
6

Test to see if the jam is ready by scooping a ladle and pour it back slowly into the pot. You want it to be syrupy not loose runny liquid. If too runny, continue to cook for a few more minutes until you get the right consistency - it will also thicken slightly when cooled.
7

Ladle into the jar(s) and refrigerate once cooled.
