Purple grape bread

This is the ultimate grape bread! I made these rolls with the grape juice that I made from the grapes from our garden.

In stead of water I used grape juice as a liquid to make the dough, which made the dough into beautiful purple colour. Because our grapes have pips, I didn't want to put the fruits in the dough but to give the sweet taste of grape I added raisins.

The dough took longer than normal to prove. I don't know the science but maybe it's because of the grape's acid? Anyone got any ideas?

Anyway, the breads came out nicely and had lovely colour inside. (They were gone before I had a chance to take a picture of inside...,oops.. greedy again...)

I've changed water to grape juice but everything else is the same as my Super easy bread. I had my home made grape juice available but a shop-bought 100% grape juice would be fine. ;)

Grape jam

The grapes in our garden are becoming fatter and darker each day and I saw some birds were eating them, so I decided to pick some before they all get eaten.

I got a bowlful of grapes and they turned into a beautiful wine red jam. I didn't even take the grape skins off but they were cooked well so I didn't notice them.

Because I wanted to use the jam for cakes I added much less sugar than normal jams. However it was still sweet enough to have it as is. In fact the bit of sharpness was nice and refreshing.

So...now, what shall I make with it. A jam cake? Jam biscuits? Or Jam roly poly?
