We ate them for a few days and then I decided to make jelly out of them. But, alas, there was not enough, so I decided to add a pink rose wine to it to make a large enough batch. I used certo to jell the concoction, and followed the direction and I ended up with a syrup instead. BUT, IT IS DELISH!!
So I will use it to pour on toast, pancakes or to flavor tea... It would also be good poured over cream cheese and have some wonderful crackers to put on a dollop. I would love to try again, and will try to get some muscadine grapes this weekend. But, I wanted to show you what i did. My friend, Paula, says," the only way to make sure it jells is to use "sure jell"."
My beautiful grapes-4c. muscadine
I pureed them in my handi dandi vita mix, and then put them thru a sieve. Some how "The Gadget Queen"(ME!) does not have a food mill. I will work on remedying that soon. I add the juice to a large stock pot and added to the juice 4c.wine-it can be any wine good enough to drink. I added a rose wine. Then added the rest of my ingredients-juice of 1 lemon, and 11c. sugar. and 4 pkg. of liquid pectin. Next time I will use Sure jell.
follow the directions that come with the package. As for the wine-count it as more juice to make the jelly.
