For jelly, wine or both? Muscadine jelly is my favorite.

Jelly. My Cousin in Texas makes a lot of jelly so I freeze and give him stuff. I have persimmons that are looking good right now. Long time until they are ready though. I gave him a few last year and it was good jelly. miles

With all the clear cutting around here I hardly ever see them in the wild anymore. They're kind of chewy, but I eat all I find. Never find enough to make jelly.

I just went over to the woods and dug up a small vine along with some roots and set it in the yard. It took a couple of years before it started producing much, but a little trimming, watering and fertilizer and it makes a bunch. I had some scupernongs (white muscadines) that I ordered from an orchard supply that never did produce at my place and all the cuttings that I gave away were heavy producers. This vine is in the same exact spot. I even have some wisterias that refuse to bloom, and they all grow bunches of vine. I was told that my ground is too rich. miles

I usually try to pickup enough muscadines to make enough jelly for the family to keep a year round supply.

lots of 'em grow wild in Florida, and Muscadine jam or jelly is always a favorite.

Reached over the fence, did you? Nope, no fences between Him and Me. Rode the ATV over and looked at them. He did not come out, if he was at home. I have a standing invitation to help myself in his garden, as he does mine. miles
