White grape jam

White grape jam is truly special, simple to prepare especially if you choose a seedless variety. Here's the recipe!

When is it good to make homemade jam ? It's true, it takes a little patience, but the satisfaction when we pull out one of our jars when necessary is truly enormous. Today we want to show you how we prepare white grape jam, a perfect recipe for preserving grapes and, at the same time, giving vent to our passion: cooking.

As you know by now, jam is not the correct name. In fact, it would be more correct to call it white grape jam, but we have never liked discussions about names. We rather prefer to focus on the recipe so that when tasting it, any doubts can disappear. Ready to find out how grape jam is prepared?

How to prepare the white grape jam recipe

1. The first step, as is easy to imagine, concerns cleaning the grapes . If you use a traditional variety, you will have to wash them one by one, cut them in half and remove the seeds. On the contrary, if you use seedless grapes, you can skip this step and save a lot of time. In all cases, cut the grapes in half.
2. Place the grapes in a pan, sprinkle them with lemon juice and add the sugar .
3. Transfer the fruit to the heat and to thicken the grape jam, add the apple cut into pieces and start cooking, stirring occasionally. Be patient, you may even need 1-2 hours to make this jam.
4. After about 1 hour / 1 hour and a half, blend part of the grapes (or even all of them) with an immersion blender, then continue cooking for about another 40 minutes and conclude with the saucer test .
5. Pour it while still boiling into sterilized jars and close with a new cap.
6. Finally, turn them over and wait until they are completely cold before placing them in the pantry.

The variant with the food mill

If you are looking for a quick and easy method to remove seeds from grapes to make jam (we understand that cleaning grape by grape is challenging), then you can use this second method:

1. Wash the grapes and cook them in a pan for about 20-30 minutes .
2. Then pass it through a food mill to remove the peel and seeds.
3. Return the juice obtained to the pan and add the lemon, apple and sugar.
4. Cook for at least 1 hour , until the jam is thick enough, then proceed as in the previous recipe.

The recipe is really very simple but we still leave you a video where you can see all the steps to make this autumn jam.
