If you have more juice than you need for one recipe, then you need to make two recipes of jelly separately. It is just more grape jelly than you expected. Give them as gifts if you don't have room.

We just noticed we had wild grapes in abundance. Each year, I do Grape jelly with regular grapes which we have in our backyard. This year, I will do this recipe for the first time. I hope I will succeed! Many thanks for sharing! Diane from Montreal, Canada I’m so glad I finally found a simple recipe! We just noticed we had wild grapes in abundance.

I think that my scale may have been broke, thus thinking that I had 4 pounds of wild grapes, I added 4 cups of water, but this morning I ended up with 8 cups of grape juice. Should I add more water and change the amount of the rest of the ingredients? I have made a mistake with my wild grape jelly and do not know how to proceed.

Okra and cucumbers, though quite bitter, are still producing. I don't know how but there are lots of grapes here. If I may expound on the itching caused by the okra; I believe it's caused by the tiny spines on the leaves and stems. Kinda' like Bull Nettle but not as extreme.

I use scissors to pick them and to cut the grapes from the stems before washing. I haven't had any problems with itching! I have 8 cups of juice in the fridge, looking forward to canning!
