I laugh every time I think of Lucy stomping those grapes.
At my old home we have a grapevine, apple and pear trees.
I decided that not only will I pick and eat from the trees this year I will make pie fillings, freeze, can fruit and make jelly.
Muscadine is the variety, that grows well in South Carolina
Today I smashed and with the food processor chopped grapes
Put them into a large pot with one cup of water
You have to make juice to make jelly.
drained them through my small holed old tupperware colander
drained them again through a smaller strainer
I didn't have any cheesecloth to squeeze the juice, worked just as well
The juice is beautiful, may have to can some juice...use it for other things like my friend Ron Cottle
Next week may just have to go pick more muscadines and apples wow I am on a mission...
Then making muscadine jelly, I am excited can't wait. I really think that this year people will be getting a package of canned goods, jams, jellies, and sewn products for Christmas. I have always said that and for some strange reason not given them this year look out folks...
Check out these gorgeous little Granny Smiths...you know they are organic because they are not picture perfect, but to me they are gorgeous.
Canning Pie fillings, and such next week.
Oh well I couldn't resist putting another picture of the peaches
