Ginger Grape Jam
Ingredients
2 pounds grapes
3 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
cup water
3 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Preparation
1
Halve and seed the grapes, then chop. There will be about 6 cups. In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, combine the grapes, gingerroot and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat; simmer, covered, for 10 minutes or until tender. Add sugar and lemon juice; stir until sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to high; boil, uncovered, stirring often, for 8 to 12 minutes or until mixture reaches jam stage. Remove from heat and skim foam from surface.

To test for jam stage: Place 2 small saucers in freezer before you start. Place a teaspoon of hot jam mixture on plate and return to freezer for 2 minutes until cool. (Remove pan from heat to prevent overcooking.) If jam is thick enough, ladle into jars; if too thin, boil longer and repeat jam test.
