Wild grapes

Post by Spike188 »

As a preteen mom would have us pick wild grapes for jelly.

This year with all of the rain a bumper crop of wild grapes was produced.

Instead of picking like mom had us do, the clusters were cut off and boiled for the juice.

This bunch of grapes made the equivalent of 28 pints of jelly. The only problem was that non of the jelly set. So, should this be called grape juice or can they be reworked?

Must be yummy! And probably a lot of work but surely worth it. How are you eating the jelly?

There'a something in the trees near by us that resembles grape vine but no fruit on it.

@eugen We had one jar set up and we eat it on toast and on vanilla ice cream. I spent most of a day canning them in small batches. The thickening looked good going into jars but failed after the water bath sealing. I am still very green at making jellies. I had good luck with local in season peaches and pears for jam this summer.

There are a lot of vines here but only one group had grapes.
