Eat Local: Concord Grape Jelly

The smell of Concord grapes always reminds me of the fall and Sunday visits at my grandparents. This quintuple batch of jelly was made with Concord grapes from an arbor on the patio at the Masters' Residence in Pforzheimer House. We didn't even make a dent in picking them, so I'm recruiting a new batch of jelly makers for this Friday afternoon.

I should mention that jelly making is a full contact sport. But it went quickly--with Alex, Amy and Felicia, we made 36 pints (plus some extra) in less than 3 hours!

  1. Is it edible and spreadable right away? Or does it have to sit for a while?
