Title: Wine and Grape Jam
Post by: CarolineW on September 03, 2009, 10:30:25 pm
Recipe is translated from the 2001 Autumn booklet from the German thermomix club.

500g red grapes, quartered and with seeds removed

250g jam sugar (2:1)

500g white wine

250g extra jam sugar (2:1)

1.  Put grapes and first batch of jam sugar in a mixing bowl, and mix.  Leave it to soak overnight.

2.  Next day, put the white wine and the other batch of jam sugar in the tmx bowl  *: and mix 20 sec / 5

3.  Add last night's grape mixture, and cook for c 13 min / 100oC/ 1

4.  Check settting point is reached (tip bowl and see if clings to sides and sort of wrinkles, rather than just sloshing - technical term  ;) ) and fill prepared jars.

5.  Stand the jars on the lid for c 5-10 mins, then turn and repeat process (5-10 mins).   Turn 3 times.  This way the grape pieces are evenly distributed throughout the jar.

Tip:  This jam is optically very interesting, and makes an excellent gift.

Thanks Caroline - does the jam sugar have pectin in it?

Yes, it does.  I think in Oz you use normal sugar and add a packet of Jamsetta?

I had a look at the CSR packet today in the supermarket in response to your question TMXR and yes it does.

I wish I had the time to look at everything in the food stores to see what is on offer - sometimes I get a real surprise when I am wandering around looking for something and find all these little treasures.

Do you mean you haven't got time to spend browsing the aisles of the supermarket Thermomixer - well I never :o :o :o  Put it on your list of 'things to do when I retire list'. I'd also like to spend 1/2 day wandering around food shops just looking, looking but life is all rush, rush these days for us all.

Thanks, I made this today and love the flavour, but thought I'd add that I needed an extra 25 minutes at Varoma temperature (with the basket on top) to get this to setting point.
