Instructions
Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water.
Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat.
Let stand in hot water until ready to use.
Drain well before filling.
Stem and crush grapes thoroughly, one layer at a time.
Place in large saucepan; add water and lemon juice. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 to 20 min. or until pulp is softened.
Place three layers of damp cheesecloth or jelly bag in large bowl.
Pour prepared fruit into cheesecloth. Tie cheesecloth closed; hang and let drip into bowl until dripping stops. Press gently.
Let juice stand in refrigerator overnight. Sediment will form on bottom of container. Slowly pour juice from container without disturbing sediment. Measure exactly 3-3/4 cups juice into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot.
Stir pectin into prepared juice in saucepot.
Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 2 min., stirring constantly.
Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly.
Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches.
Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 5 min.
Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)
