Ingredients:
500g green seedless grapes (choose the smaller, tarter, ones)
1/2 red apple, peeled and finely grated
400g sugar
240ml water
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp pine nuts, lightly roasted
juice of 1/2 lemon
Method:
Combine the sugar and water in a large pan over medium heat. As soon as the sugar has dissolved add the grapes and apple. Stir to combine then cook for about 45 to 50 minutes.
Test for the setting point by spooning a little of the jam onto a plate that has been chilled in the fridge. If the jam forms a skin when you move it with your finger then it's reached the setting point. If it does not then you should continue boiling for 5 more minutes and test again.
Add the lemon juice, pine nuts and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes more then take off the heat. Allow the mixture to cool a little then pour into cleaned, sterilized jars that have been warmed in an oven set to 120°C for 10 minutes. Top with a circle of wax paper, seal securely then allow to cool before storing.
