What each ingredient does

Farina
Thickens the juice as it cooks, setting it into a jelly.
Grape juice
Provides the liquid base, flavor, and color of the jelly.

The step that matters

Stirring the farina into the juice. Farina must be stirred in well so it disperses evenly; otherwise it can clump and leave lumps instead of a smooth, uniformly set jelly.
