My wife and I are semi-professional foragers, and have been scouting the grapes this year. Here in northern CT, there is a bumper crop this year, 2023. We've got about 10 days to two weeks, before the grapes will be ripe. It'll be grape juice and jelly for days! I'm curious to know if you added a measured amount of sugar to a measured amount of juice, prior to canning. I see another commenter said your jelly turned out great. That's awesome!
Hi! I realized that I did not include how much sugar to use in this recipe, I went ahead and updated the recipe, but just to clarify- You want to measure your liquid (after pouring it off) and use a 1:1 ration of liquid to sugar. Hope this helps!
Are the grapes that you picked sour? My wild grapes here in Florida are called Summer grapes and they are very bitter I'm just wondering what sugar content I could use
Hi! my apologies for not getting back to you sooner- When you pour out the juice (after letting it sit overnight), you will want to pour it out into a measuring cup. Measure the liquid and add an equal amount of sugar to your mixture. Hope this helps!
Hi! The sediment contains tartaric acid which will form tartrate crystals in your jelly if they are not removed. Not removing the sediment will result in hard crystalline granules to form in your jelly. Not necessarily the end of the world, however this extra step will ensure a nice, smooth jelly.

Why do you discard sedament /pulp?
