Description
A homemade winter preserve. Treat yourself and your loved ones to the taste of summer even in the cold season. It retains all the flavors and aromas.

You can spread it on toast for breakfast, add it to yogurt instead of sugar, and even serve it with a scoop of ice cream. Any seedless grapes will work for the jam.
