Grape Jam
4 lb grapes
2 oranges; juiced & zested
5 cup sugar
1 cup raisins
1 pn salt
Wash grapes and remove stems. Peel off skins and reserve; place grape
pulp in a saucepan. Cook pulp over low heat 6 to 7 minutes, then
press through a coarse sieve to remove seeds. Discard seeds; return
pulp to saucepan. Add orange rind and juice, sugar, raisins and salt,
and continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly. As the
mixture thickens, add grape skins and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until
quite thick.
Pour into sterile hot jars and seal while hot.
Makes about 3 1/2 pints.

This sounds different, I noticed no pectin, does it thicken without it?

I'm being a broken record, but again a safety reminder to everyone. This is an old style "open kettle" recipe and needs to be refrigerated at all times. It is not a canning recipe that can be kept at room temperature, so keep that in mind if plans are for giving out as gifts.
