Grape jam is one of the easiest jams that you can whip up in your instant pot or pressure cooker. Guess what you don’t even have to peel the grapes ! Do try out this recipe !
Ingredients
- 2 kg seedless grapes , I used green grapes
- 1 kg sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
Method
- Put the grapes, sugar and lemon in your instant pot or pressure cooker and set aside for half an hour
- After half an hour, close the instant pot and pressure cook on high for 5 minutes. If using a pressure cooker, pressure cook for 1-2 whistles
- Once the pressure releases, open the lid and use a blender to blend the grapes to a juice like consistency
- Put the grapes back in the instant pot or pressure cooker, and simmer on high till the mixture comes to a boil
- Once the mixture comes to a boil, simmer on low for 15-20 minutes stirring continuously
- Take the pan off the heat and test if the jam is set by placing a few drops on a chilled plate and place it in the fridge for a minute
- Push your finger through the jam and it should form a crinkle, if not simmer it for a few more minutes. If it is still quite liquid and your finger runs right through it, it’s not done yet
- Once the jam is done when it passes the done test , store it in sterilized glass jars
- Once cool, store the jam in the refrigerator
Enjoy the jam with your favorite toast 🍞
