What each ingredient does
- Sugar
- Sweetens the jelly and, with boiling, helps it thicken and set.
- Grape juice
- Provides the liquid and natural pectin and flavor that the jelly is built on.
The step that matters
Boiling the juice before adding the sugar. Boiling the juice first concentrates it and draws out pectin, so the jelly has enough setting power once the sugar is added and boiled.
