Grape Jelly

Oh, yes and you have 2 and 1/2 of blueberries.
I am so jealous.

Many thanks for the tips and advice ... but no need to be jealous, as these blueberries are a mixture of bargain baskets from the greengrocer and a bag of frozen I had left in the freezer!!   

I only have a small veg patch, so don't currently grow that much soft fruit; however, I'm debating whether to plant gooseberries and blackcurrants and not bother with so many courgettes, beans, salad crops, etc. next year.

As for the juniper berries, yes, I do crush them, but I think it's the length of time they're in with the other ingredients that's the key ... I'll definitely be using your tip of letting the mix stand overnight before straining.   

Hi everyone - I have some grape juice which I got by steaming 1 kg of red seedless grapes. I was wondering how to make grape jelly with it as I keep seeing different recipes. Some add apples and pectin, some just pectin. I have cooking apples which I can steam and add the juice to the grape juice but I'm looking for a really grapey flavour jelly with nothing else added.
Will my ordinary eating grapes give me that flavour and also if you add apple juice does this effect the grapey - ness of the flavour.
I've just re-read that and I know it sounds a bit daft but hope you get my drift 
Wasn't going to bother making any more jams/jelly this year as have so much stockpiled in larder but my curiousity got the better of me 

I just use jam sugar and it works just fine
