Rustic grape jam

Course: Appetizer
Keyword: grape jam
Author: Rosa
Ingredients
  • 2 cups black grapes, halved
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • the juice of half a lemon
Instructions

  1. Put the grapes, sugar and lemon juice in a medium saucepan.

  2. Simmer on medium/low heat, stirring continuously. You will notice that the grapes will release a lot of liquid. Muddle the grapes as you stir.

  3. After about 10 minutes, reduce the heat to low.

  4. After about 15 minutes, you'll notice that the liquid has reduced by more than half and the jam is still a bit runny. Take the pan off the heat.

  5. Allow the jam to cool for about 5 minutes. It will firm up a little as it cools. Pour the jam into a small jar and refrigerate it until you're ready to serve it.

Recipe Notes
  • If you want to achieve a smoother jam consistency, pour the jam into the food processor after it has cooled for about 5 minutes and blend for a minute. You can also just blend half of the jam in the food processor so that the jam still has some texture. If the jam is too loose after blending, simmer on low heat for a couple of minutes.
  • You can add a couple more tablespoons of sugar if you prefer a sweeter jam.
  • This recipe makes about 2/3 cup of jam. Consider doubling the recipe if you need more.
