Grape Jelly

What I've been up to today:

A friend showed up at my door with this:

So I did this:

And this:

And stirred this:

Poured it into these jars:

To make this: (I know it's not the approved method of sealing jars these days - but my great-grandma, grandma and my mom have all done it this way - so I do too!)

So I could tuck away 13 jars of grape jelly in the pantry under the stairs (keeping my raspberry jam company):

So she and her brothers and sisters can have homemade grape jelly on their toast this winter!!!

It's been a good day!!!
