This jelly tastes mainly like grapes, but the little hint of pear in the background rounds the jelly out beautifully.  Without further ado....

Ella and Taylor's Grape Pear Jelly!!


Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs concord grapes

1/4 lb pears peeled and cored

1/2 cup water

3 cups sugar

3 oz Mrs. Wages Liquid Pectin
1. Fill a huge canning pot with water and put it on the stove to begin heating up to boiling.

2. Puree pears and set aside.

3. Sort and wash grapes, and remove stems. Place them into a large kettle and crush them. Add water, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 7 minutes. Then add the pears, turn to medium heat, and boil for 3 minutes.

4. Strain the juice through a double thickness of damp cheesecloth. Measure 2 cups of the juice into a large pot. Stir in the sugar. Quickly bring to a full rolling boil. Whisk in pectin making sure there are no clumps, and allow to boil hard for 1 minute. Remove the jelly from heat, and skim off foam.

5. Put the jar lids in a pan and cover with water. Put on the cover and heat to simmering. DO NOT BOIL

6. Pour the jelly into hot sterile jars, put on the hot lids and screw the tops on the jars. Then process the jars for 5 minutes in a boiling water bath. Enjoy!
