I have never tried it. I would imagine that you could swap it out with the water – same quantity. However – the juice is loaded with sugar, so you probably wouldn’t want to also add the sugar that’s called for in the recipe. But that sugar in the recipe dissolves and helps to thicken the spread as it cooks down. So making a swap like that would require a lot of trial and error – you might be better off using the juice to make jelly, without the grapes. I’m sure there are some great recipes out there. I just have not personally tried it so I can’t say how that would all turn out.

Can I just use fresh concord grape juice?
If so how much juice would I use

In reply to Mary. I just let it sit on the counter - or place it in the fridge on a hot pad if I'm too impatient.

Where do you put the jelly to cool? On the counter or in the refrigerator? I’m making this right now!

My grandma used to make spread like this, but she put crushed walnuts in it, which sounds weird but was DELICIOUS! Thanks for sharing at the Pinworthy Project Party!

I’m stopping by from the TGIF linky party!

This looks fabulous – and only three ingredients. I love it!

Okay I don’t normally like grape jelly (I’m a berry jam kind of girl) but this looks so delicious. Thanks for sharing on the weekend re-Treat link party.

We have lots of concord grapes. I usually steam them and make juice. I’ll have to try this jelly recipe next year. The spoon trick is an interesting one.
