What each ingredient does
- Sugar
- Sweetens the jelly and helps it set by binding water and firming the gel.
- Grape juice
- Provides the liquid base and the natural pectin and acid that help the jelly set.
The step that matters
Boiling the juice before adding the sugar. Boiling the juice alone for 15 minutes concentrates it and lets it reduce, so the pectin and acid are present in the right balance for setting once the sugar is added and boiled.
