Way in the back of my yard is a concord grape vine. I didn't plant it but I did inherit it when we bought the house some years ago. That little vine produced its best crop this year; almost 5 cups of concord grapes. That is a new record! :) Because the recipe (at the end of the blog post) calls for 7 cups of grapes, I had to do a bit of tweaking with the ingredients. But, in the end, it worked out beautifully. There is nothing better than delicious, homemade concord jam simmering on the stove. The smell is divine!

| The purpose of the apple with the seeds is to add pectin to naturally thicken the jam |
