3I use pretty unripe grapes for this recipe.
4There is a lovely saying in portuguese when the grapes change colour, which they do from one day to the next in the douro valley: "oh my, senhora, the painter came last night", and that was when i picked the grapes for making jelly (..).
5Put the washed bunches of grapes into the pan and just cover with water, holding the fruit down with your hand.
6Simmer then gently until they are soft, about 20 minutes.
7Strain off the juice using a nylon muslin bag.
8Measure the liquid: for every 1 pt liquid, allow 1 lb sugar.
9Return the juice to the pan, bring to the boil, add the sugar and boil until setting point is reached.
10Ladle into jars, allow to cool and wax seal.
11This jelly can be flavoured with a small piece of cinnamon or a clove added to each pot
