Making Jelly

Dad brought me a huge basket of grapes from his arbor, which I cooked down and strained into a beautiful rich purple juice. I had never made grape jelly before, but was determined to give it a try....




I was pleasantly surprised at how much easier it was than I had originally thought!

And filling all the jars with the beautiful liquid jelly was really satisfying........

....though the most satisfying part of all was realizing that I had made twenty little half~pints!

Now I find myself wondering what type of jelly I should try next.......or perhaps jam....... Yep, canning can be very addicting;)
