I was cleaning out the frig so we'd have some place to store leftovers from Easter supper and found four pounds of over ripe grapes shoved to the back. Since throwing out unused produce is a common occurrence in this household i decided to stop the vicious cycle and make jelly...
After all, everyone loves jelly, even if they don't use it.

Signing UpStep 1: Clean and cook the grapes
First thing you should do is wash the grapes, follow that by picking them off the stems, you don't need to be perfect. Be sure to pick out any moldy or mushy grapes, we aren't trying to make ourselves sick.
I had half green and half red grapes. I cooked them for about 20 minutes until they were a delicious mush.
