I am looking for a freezer jam recipe using fresh grapes. The simpler and less work the better. I would like to use as much of the grape as possible, including the skins.

Okay, let's try this ;-) I doubt Purdue University will steer you wrong ;-) Here's a three page PDF of the how to's for making freezer jams from both fresh and frozen fruits ;-)

Oh, I am sure much about Lewiston hasn't changed since the 1950's but the population and area has definitely grown and at least driving 'The Grade' is no longer a scrape your pants experience like it was when I was a little girl ;-)
I have an auntie and some cousins that live there still :-)
I have buckets of wild mustang grapes on my new property, but do not know how to keep, prepare, or juice them for marking grape jelly. Can you help me?

You can buy a juicer that will separate the pulp and seeds and then boil the juice and you can bottle it in mason jars. We use ours for tomato juice.
Has anyone tried making grape jam or jelly from fresh store-bought grapes? If so, would you have a quick recipe to share? Thanks for any info.
Here are PDF instructions for really easy no cook freezer/jam that you can save and/or print ;-)
