How To Can Grape Butter Recipes

HOW TO CAN GRAPE BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine grapes and sugar in a heavy-bottom kettle and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Continue boiling until the mixture is at a rolling boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down) and boil for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, remove from heat and push through a cone strainer with paddle. Work through strainer leaving pulp and seeds behind.
• Fill prepared jars, wipe off, and place on lids and rings.
• Place in the waiting water bath for 10 minutes.
• Remove from water bath and let cool for 24 hours before removing rings and storing.

GRAPE BUTTER

Steps:

• Mash grapes and cook in a large saucepan.
• Press through a sieve back into the saucepan.
• Add apples and sugar; cook until thick.
• Plum butter may be cooked in the same way.
• This is the whole recipe. I think directions on ball may come in handy.

GRAPE BUTTER

Steps:

• In a large stainless or enamel pot add grapes and water.
• Heat to medium high and mash grapes.
• Continue to cook as mixture thickens, about 30 minutes.
• Stir frequently.
• Put grapes and juice through a food mill to remove seeds.
• Return pulp to pot and cook over medium low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring frequently.
• You may need more cooking time depending on the amount of juice your grapes hold.
• When product is quite thick place a drop of grape butter on a frozen plate.
• If you get a ring of fluid around grape butter drop you need to continue to cook.
• Repeat test until no liquid ring appears.
• At this point taste and add honey if you wish.
• When done, ladle butter into clean, hot sterile jars leaving 1/2 inch head space and seal.
• Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet.

GRAPE LEAVES-CANNING RECIPE

Steps:

• Pick grape leaves that are young, tender, and light green in color.
• Cut off stems and wash in cold water.
• In a large pot-6 quart or larger-bring water to a boil.
• Drop in leaves 12 at a time.
• Cook for 30 seconds, remove and plunge in ice cold water.
• Pat dry and stack 6 in each pile.
• Roll stack and tie with string.
• Bring the 1 quart water to a full rolling boil with the salt.
• Boil 5 minutes.
• Pack rolls of leaves in sterile, hot quart jars.
• (about 6 rolls per jar-and I remove the string).
• Pour hot brine over leaves, removing bubbles and leaving 1/8 inch head space.
• Seal and process in a boiling water bath 15 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet sea level.
• Consult chart for higher elevations.
• *It should be noted that this recipe says you can keep the string on-I did not.
• **To use open jar, remove rolls needed, rinse leaves in cold water and use.
• Store remaining leaves with their brine in the fridge.
