MICROWAVE GRAPE JELLY 
1 1/2 c. (360 mL) grape juice
2 tsp. (10 mL) lemon juice
1 tbsp. (15 mL) powdered pectin
1 3/4 c. (420 mL) sugar

Combine grape juice, lemon juice and pectin in a three-quart microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or waxed paper and bring to a boil in the microwave oven on high setting (about 5 minutes). Remove from oven and add sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves; then return to oven.

Bring mixture to a boil on high setting (about 4 minutes). Remove from the oven and stir. Return the uncovered mixture to the oven and cook until jelly sheets from a spoon (about 1 minute). Skim foam; pour into hot jars, leaving 1/8 inch head space. Adjust caps. Invert jar for a few seconds; then stand upright to cool. Yield: about two 8 ounce jars.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
