We ran out of Jelly and decided to do our numbers on how much jelly was costing us. Together with how much it would cost us to buy the grapes and do the process ourselves. Who wouldn’t love to have an unlimited supply of jelly in their home? Not to mention as long as we had grapes and pectin we had jelly. We decided to replace the extra amounts of sugars with Sea Moss. SeaMoss is a sea vegetable that has 94 of the 102 minerals your body needs.

I recommend you get the pink box of pectin when using less sugar to help it thicken well.
