Grape Jelly
Grape jelly is a sweet preserve made by cooking down the juice of grapes, most often Concord grapes, with sugar and pectin until it sets into a smooth, spreadable gel.
It is a staple of American cuisine, most famously in the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and is also used as a topping for baked goods and as a glaze for roasted meats such as ham or meatballs.
Its sweetness plays well against salty cheeses, tangy yogurt, and rich nut butters, and against the bitterness of dark chocolate. Grape jelly should not be confused with grape jam, which is made from crushed whole grapes rather than strained juice and has a chunkier texture.
