It made me smile to read that your grapes sat in the fridge for 6 weeks. I just took mine out after about 7, expecting I'd procrastinated too long. No, they were for the most part still good! I guess they store well.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11840204747502640543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-6419078994814411232009-09-28T08:25:53.823-04:002009-09-28T08:25:53.823-04:00Just picked tons of grapes yesterday.

You know how jelly that you buy is more Jell-O like in its consistency? This isn't like that, which is actually a good thing. This was more like a thicker, stickier apple butter, which was perfect. It spreads better that way.<BR/><BR/>Try again. Maybe it was just some sort of fluky thing that happened!Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-18167991175457328582008-12-13T18:51:00.000-05:002008-12-13T18:51:00.000-05:00I tried making wild grape jelly this past summer a...I tried making wild grape jelly this past summer and could <B>not</B> get the jelly to set.

I made grape jelly this summer for the first time also and the recipes I read said that it sets better if you use half wild grapes because they are higher in natural pectin. I too asked my husband to pick up grape jelly-making supplies at the store, cheesecloth. He couldn't find it and asked one of the teenagers working there, who thought he was crazy. (He found it in the baking aisle finally.) It reminded me of the reaction of the teenage clerk at a nursery when I asked her if they had composted manure.Earth Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310750371448850219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-58319801683766669352007-10-02T11:59:00.000-04:002007-10-02T11:59:00.000-04:00looks wonderful.

I was also offered some green seedless grapes, maybe we'll make white grape juice, too, if we get that far. I have decided I need help to do canning, and so I always make sure I have an assistant before I start. I'll let you know how it goes!Muumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181825725581583635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-11605139804848894852007-10-02T11:02:00.000-04:002007-10-02T11:02:00.000-04:00My mouth was watering as I was reading your post! ...My mouth was watering as I was reading your post!
