Thread: The Muscadines are ready

What do you mean when you say "volunteer"? I don't think that I've ever eaten muscadine jelly. I have had the wine, though.

It came up in its own from the vines we pruned off of 2 other vines in the yard that were thrown in the compost bin. The vines that are cared for and fertized every year do not produce but this one produces a couple of gallons of grapes every year.

Up here in Northwest LA the wild muscadines start getting ready about the last week of August. I have 29 cultivated vines on trellises (about 13 different varieties). The first ones to get ripe are about a week away. Some will still be producing through October. I love those things!

I love muscadines too. I like to do like Dwayne and freeze them. They make a great summer time snack by letting them defrost a little and pull the peel back to eat the still frozen insides. Very refreshing. I might have to go visit Eddie Romero in New Iberia and pick me a few gallons. He has a bunch of vines which get loaded each year. I think they are 10 bucks a gallon which I think is fair. I usually get 3 or 4 gallons and if he isn't working he'll help out.
