REAL Grape Jelly

We harvested about 8 pounds of grapes from our backyard this year. Joe would have liked to try making home-made wine, like lots of his uncles do... but maybe next year. We decided to make grape jelly. We ended up making our first batch after 8:30 p.m. on Thursday. Here's Joe holding a bloody heart, no, getting the grape juice. Boy! was it ever tart!!! That's how REAL grapes really taste!!
I made the second batch next day, modifying the amount of sugar a bit, so the jelly isn't as tangy and shocking as the first batch. Still, it makes quite serious PBJ sandwitches. Here's a picture of all our jelly.
