This jam is made with very sweet black grapes, which is why it contains a relatively small amount of sugar. It is cooked slowly and then strained, and can be stored for more than a year in sterilized jars.

Directions

  1. Thoroughly wash the grapes, then remove the stems. ≈ 2 min
  2. Place the grapes in a deep pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until a grape crushed between your fingers completely breaks down.
  3. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  4. Place the grapes in a sieve that isn’t too fine, and move your hand in a circular motion. Discard the remaining seeds and skins in the sieve. ≈ 3 min
  5. Return the pureed mixture to the pot, add the sugar, and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  6. To check the consistency, place a spoonful of jam on a plate and let it cool slightly: the correct consistency will be apparent when cold (allowing approximately 1 hour of cooking time, depending on the grape).
  7. Once the jam has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and pour it into sterilized jars. Seal them immediately, turn them upside down, and let them cool: the heat will seal the jars tightly.
  8. Store in a cool place for more than a year. Once opened, keep the jar in the refrigerator.
