If it is a 'must' have thing then you can always make it with commercially canned Concord grape juice. Usually available in both sweetened and unsweetened varieties.

If you can find concords (I have to settle for Thomcords), I recommend Linda Ziedrich's concord grape jam. No pectin needed.

Dave, I did see where commercial canned grape juice could be used. If I decide to go that route, I can do it later after all the other canning is completed. I have pears that are almost ready to be canned so that will be my next project and also the tomatoes are still ripening.

Next time I get my hands on Concord grapes, I may try Linda Ziedrich's grape receipe. I still have the overly sweet Concord Grape jelly to use. Need to see what I can do with it if I get complaints about it being too sweet.

Makes a good glaze for baking ham and other pork dishes, even grilled pork chops. You can also thin it down and use as pancake syrup or use it in baking. Wife loves to stuff/inject jellies into her muffins and other baked goods or use it mixed with whipped cream or cream cheese as the center filling for layer cakes. They are supposed to taste sweet. ;-)

Thanks Dave, those are good ideas. I did think the pancake syrup would work and also my daughter could use it when she makes muffins for the school lunches.
