we have alot of them this year and arent going to make any jelly . i found a recipe for the syrup on a site and wondered if anyone has ever used this on anything, they say it is for pancakes, or you can glaze it over pork or a brisket and smoke it. any one ever try this.
i would like to have the recipe i will try it.
it takes 1 and 1/2 cups muscadine juice, 1 and 1/4 cups sugar, 1/3 cup corn syrup, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. combine all in sauce pan, bring to boil, stirring constantly, let boil at full boil for 2 minutes and skim foam off top. can in a water bath for later use. it really looks like jam to me, but tastes great
thanks, been making muscadine jelly all weekend I will try it.
Man, I would kill to have a bucket full of dines...a buddy of mine from Ga. got me hooked on them when he lived up here...THEY ARE ADDICTING!!!
sounds good :mad:hate diabetes:mad:
I haven't tried muscadine syrup but I've tried pecan syrup and it was great. Last week end we drove to Moselle MS to Ashmore Vineyards and pick 30 pounds of them golden ones. They were at their ripest and tasted like wine. I put them up in the freezer and will take some out as needed.
me and my wife have gotten rid of all our cows and are going to start putting up trellaces and filling our field with muscadines when the leaves are gone
NEED ANY NEIGHBORS?????? LOL...Quote:

SOUNDS like a great plan SF....if I lived closer I would take some of them off your hands for sure...The only way I have ever had them was fresh but I would love to have some to try for jelly. I have never ate anything in the grape line that tastes like a DINE....lol.Quote:

I figure that row is no shorter that 500' long and I think there are 27 rows like that. The next shots are of the muscadines themselves.
I know this post was of muscadines but I also posted the last picture which is of my last two figs that I had put up last year. Didn't have any to put up this year. We put them up whole cooked gently in a sugar syrup for an hour. We put the still whole figs in jars and pour the syrup on top to fill the jar. When the figs are all eaten the fig syrup is left to enjoy just a little more.

Hey Sail,
Any idea where I can get a LARGE quantity of these when they get ripe this year? I got some friends that are interested in a BIG BATCH after they got ahold of some at the fruit stand this past year. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated........Good Fishin'....GF
We planted our first vines this fall and we're excited and impatient to watch them grow.
Let me know if you have any extra...lol...Im in the market for a bunch...lol.Quote:

For you diabetics , my wife makes jelly and adds splenda instead of sugar. When i want syrup i just put some jelly in a bowl and pop it in the microwave. I dont eat much of it but it sure is good.Also we make wine its pretty good. We dont even drink just make it and give it away,ita a hobby.
I wish my back yard was full of these vines. If I knew they would grow here I would plant my side field from one end to the other. Since I dont plant it anymore due to a DEER CONFLICT...lol. I have never had the gold ones but have ate my fair share of the purple ones in the past. I got some homemade jelly THANKS to sailfish and MAN OH MAN was it ever tasty. I want some to make some jelly and my buddies want some for a homemade bottling project they enjoy doing...lol. Like Jim said, ITS A HOBBY...a tasty hobby...lol.Quote:
