Making Uncle Steve's Grape Jelly in Appalachia

Last week my brother Steve shared his grape harvest with me. Watch this video to see how Corie and I turned the bounty into jelly. I also point out wild Fox Grapes that grow in the mountains of Appalachia and share a few stories about them from Pap. This video really highlights the importance of putting up food in Appalachia and making sure the next generation continues the tradition.

Bring to a rolling boil and boil one minute. Ladle hot jelly into hot sterilized jars and seal. Can be water bath processed for 5 minutes if so desired.
