Everything you’ll need to make Grape Jam

  • 2 kg black grapes
  • Lemon peel and lime peel
  • 1 sprig of rose geranium
  • A few drops of lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Wash the grapes thoroughly and remove the seeds by gently squeezing each grape between your fingers.
  2. Place the grapes in a heavy-bottomed pot and simmer on low heat in their own juice.
  3. Stir occasionally. Simmer for about 2 hours, or until the volume is reduced by half.
  4. Towards the end of cooking, add a sprig of rose geranium, lemon peel, and lime peel to infuse flavor.
  5. In the final stage of cooking, add a few drops of lemon juice.
  6. Pass the grapes through a food mill to mash the pulp into the pot. Alternatively, strain the mixture through a fine sieve, pressing down with a spoon to extract the pulp while leaving the skins and rose geranium behind.
  7. At this stage, the jam will be quite liquid. Return it to the heat and cook until it reaches a jelly-like consistency.

Enjoy!
