Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.

Stem and crush grapes thoroughly, one layer at a time. Place in saucepan. Add water. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 min., stirring occasionally. Place three layers of damp cheesecloth or jelly bag in large bowl. Pour prepared fruit into cheesecloth. Tie cheesecloth closed; hang and let drip into bowl until dripping stops. Press gently. Measure exactly 4 cups juice into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot.

Stir sugar into juice in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.

Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 5 min. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lid with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

This golden-green courgette and ginger jam is a brilliant way to use up an abundance of seasonal courgettes. It is quick and easy to make and surprisingly delicious, a bit like a gingery marmalade. You can use any type of courgette: green or yellow, round or long. If the courgettes are young with tender skin there is no need to peel them. If you choose not to peel green courgettes the jam will be flecked with green. Courgettes have barely any pectin and you will need to use jam sugar, which has added pectin and citric acid, to get the jam to set.

grams/4½oz ginger

unwaxed lemons, finely grated zest

100 milliliters/3½fl oz lemon juice (2–3 lemons)

750 grams/1lb 10 ounces jam sugar

cooking oil (optional)
