Wonderful tasting jelly. I made 2 batches using 9 lbs. of grapes which yield a total of 8 pts.<br/>I tasted the juice after juicing and didn't feel there was enough grape flavor so I put all the juice in a pan and reduced it 25%. I then proceeded with the recipe as directed. <br/>The end product had the most delicous grape flavor.

I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6

I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby
My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby.
My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands.
He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
