I love your video. I never heard of this kind of grape before. My family used to be grower, packer, shippers of wine, table, & raisin grapes in the San Joaquin Valley area. Thank you so much for all the awesome details you have shared. 😊🍇😋👍

Hi Danny. Hi Wanda. Just listened to your unlocked patreon post. I've had premonitions since I was about 14. I'm nearing 60! Things that you touched on are things that weigh heavy on me. Premonitions are more intense and defined now. My late father had a dream he shared with me. My parents moved from Ontario to Alberta just over 20 years ago. He said he was told in this dream he had, that safety would be found here. First thought considering the Navy map and Cayce, Nibiru, Mayan people, the Hopi tribe; elevation here is apx 2,100' Slightly higher than the Great Lakes Region and just slightly higher than ocean elevation. I try to encourage people to prepare in any way they can. Mostly falls on deaf ears. Growing anything, saving seeds, seed propogation, plan A, PlanB, Planc. Raised beds. "for those that have eyes will see and those that have ears will hear" God bless both of you on your mission! You're spot on.
That brings back my boyhood days. My dad used to mow down past our pond and he would go out of sight for a while but the tractor would still be running. That meant he was over by the muscadine bush picking and eating them. He always took his time mossing that’s part of the pasture
You are on the wrong side of the storm - I have not heard how wide the storm is, but your side could get some heavy rain and winds, so please be safe and healthy.
Scuppernongs are a variety of muscadine. Have you made muscadine sauce? It is delicious! You use it as you would cranberry sauce or plum sauce. Using the red skins helps add flavor and color. We had 100 muscadine vines at one time. I found if I picked some of the small wild ones in the woods to mix in with my cultivated ones, it would add a lot of flavor to the mix for wines, jellies, and sauces. Muscadine pies are great, too! We spent a lot of time pruning, watering, fertilizing, netting, picking, and canning until we sold that place!
I haven't had muscadine grapes since I was a kid and I've never had the juice or jelly. The jelly looks so good!! Praying y'all are safe from the hurricane.
@@dorothydickens4188 Muscadines grow wild here (South Alabama) and are basically a southern wild grape. Those red or green grapes you can get at the store don't grow well where I live. It's too hot and humid. I've also planted scuppernongs. They are both a vine. I've seen some beautiful, old arbors covered in them. Nice and shady, too. I don't know where you live, so I don't know if you have any. They are not seedless like some grapes you can buy in the stores. When I eat them right off the vine, I just mash them in my mouth and spit out the skin and seeds. Hope that helps.
@@ktspirit1 Thank you, I didn't know they was like grapes, you buy from the store.i live in kentucky.I dont know if they grow here or not.i never, seem or heard of them before..thank you again, fore leting me know.i will check around here and see if any of my frirnds or neighbors have seen them...And I will get to taste of them..
@@dorothydickens4188 If you are in Kentucky, I'm pretty sure they grow wild there or do well if planted. They are not like the grapes at the store, though. They will have seeds and some people like the skin, but I find it a bit bitter. You are welcome. I imagine someone in your area has some you can try, to see if you like them.
I found out we have muscadine grapes growing wild in my yard! It’s been there for years and I never knew! I live in southeastern North Carolina. We have tons of vineyards around here. I will be picking today!
Growing up in Alabama we called the black ones muscadines and the bronze ones scuppernongs. I have learned that they are all muscadines, and scuppernong is a specific variety of bronze muscadines.
ktspirit1 thank you. I actually meant though that I found it in a shady area & wanted to know if I should move it or if it would be fine in the shade. It’s a small vine so I could dig it & move it if I need to. Just wasn’t sure which would be best.
My 104 yr old friend and farmer says that when there's a bumper crop one yr, then the next yr, it won't be as prevalent. So he says to preserve as much as you can while it's there.
We started muscadines in our mini-orchard in southern Illinois after visiting Natchez a couple of years ago. Our first plant has a couple of clusters this year. Love the flavor!!
Thank-you most kindly 4 sharin' your time/talents with us. My O My...What you've got there is LIQUID GOLD! Best hire some guards outside your home to 'make sure' no one loots the pantry! (LOL) How Blessed you are to have each other to enjoy and compliment this natural, healthy and abundant lifestyle. I'm gonna go on and praise Him for you while you add your own. Health and God's continued abundant blessings upon you n' yours!
Is there not an easier way to puree those fruit? Could you throw them into a blender then run the puree through a food mill to separate out the seeds and the skins?
Thanks guys!! This was really informative. We got 6 gallons of grapes to make jelly with this year. I’ve never made jelly from whole grapes before so to see the process was really helpful!! Love the flavor of muscadines, it is an amazing flavor for sure!
Y'all stay safe!! Do to things beyond our control we're traveling to NM to see our daughter before she has to deploy. Maybe the Air Force will change their mind. Passing through Starkville Friday. Love to you guys!!
Muscadines and their juice help the body make lubricants. Helps with dry eyes I hear and dry coughs. Use with other appropriate herbs for best results. Also make good jelly. Mixxm the juices with other wild grapes or concords. Great different flavor for your stocking up.
You are wrong , the red, black, and bronze varieties are all muscadine. Scuppernongs are the first bronze variety discovered near the scuppernong river in the Carolinas
Thank you so much for this information! I have a muscadine vine growing in my NEIGHBORS yard but it's on my fence. I begged her not to cut it down as she didn't know what it was. She was nice enough to leave it but I didn't know what to do with it except eat the fruit! I LOVE them and your videos have given me all the knowledge I need to get more. I could only dream about drinking the juice. I cant wait!
The Muscadine juice is a real pretty color, I have never had scuppernong jelly but it looks delicious, really nice video this morning and take care and be blessed!
Hi. After juicer/steamer process, what do you do with hulls? Great teaching video. Sending big hugs n best wishes thru the outer bands of Hurricane Laura. Peace to you and yours
you mentioned scuppernong seeds as being healthy you are right the drug co. use them in making meds its somthing to do wth age retardant very good for you some time when you eat scuppernongs you swallow a seed no problem you can sell the seeds on line for people to grow their vines
Pectin comes from plants. It is naturally in fruits and vegetables. You just have to cook your juice longer because muscadines are lower in pectin than some other fruits. Adding pectin just allows it to gel more quickly and is less likely to be overcooked.
I've been exploring this summer and ran across a few things I can't identify. Any way you can help me? Anyone have a suggestion like a website or app to use? Thanks!
Great video on juicing we have bronze or white in our field on the Mississippi Ponderosa but one day the vines are full and the next weekend we have none. They seam to fall of the vine if you just touch them. and they are smaller then the ones you have. Y'all should make a video on vine maintenance please! Y'ALL ARE A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE IN GOOD SOUTHERN LIVING!!! KEEP THEM COMING!
I have Isom muscadine and I add any wild ones and some grapes I may see close to my house and make jelly. It's our favorite and I sell some of it because I have so many jars. I've never made it without sure gel and would love to try sometime.
i leave mine a little longer the blacks will louse that purple tint ad the gold will have a pearl shine i have a black suppernong that is as big asthe gold i 1/4 inches in dia my vines are 5 yrs old this has been my best year they are loaded i have one that is nowhere ripe big greenish and hard i just found out this year muscadines are immune to grape problems i dont spray with any thing i do water them good im tryung to root some cuttings to extent my vines about 25ft 6 rows they seem to be sweeter this year
Grand Solar Minimum... thats my guess as to why things are unusual, The good news is that for every failure there will be a crop that is more successful. I need to diversify my horticultural endeavor.
We've been trying out crops from other climates to hopefully get a more diverse harvest. This solar cycle is throwing off some of the more common things we grow.
@@ErnieHatmaker I do not know what direction to go in, do I grow something that thrives in zone 6 or zone 8 (I live in Zone 7b) I started my fall garden a mother earlier than recommended and poof its 5 degrees cooler than normal and I got lucky on that one. Hopefully that means larger veggies and a longer harvest . I did get one Bok Choy plant to bolt, hey at least I get to save seeds from it.
@@johnliberty3647 We live in Eastern Arkansas in the overlap of 7a and 7b. Even the wind has begun to change direction. We used to only get storms from the west...now they come from all directions. I'm not sure how they did it during the last big one, but it sure leaves us scratching our heads.
Ernie Hatmaker we are in zone 8b in southern Arizona above 5,000 feet. The weather patterns are completely opposite of normal. The storms we get ( which is not much we had almost no rainy season! ) are coming from the north instead of the south. It’s very strange... if we were dry cropping we’d be in deep trouble as we’ve not had the rains we’d need this year for even growing field beans.
Boy does that look good! Wanda Danny going to have to build you a storage shed onto your kitchen to hold all the different gages and pots you need to make all this wonderful stuff. P.S. I heard Laura is passing by you and making land fall between louisiana and Texas. I'm praying the outer layers that do hit you will be just a small bit of breeze and some medium rain. Stay safe much love from So.Cal.💟
I just bought my first steam juicer 2 days ago, am yet to try it. In the UK we don't typically hear of 'grape jelly'. I have never known anyone use it, but am aware of the use of jellies in this way from US t.v. programmes. I also freeze a range of juices, some in ice cube portions but is there a reason why you choose not to simply can the juice? Would the juice need the addition of lemon, despite the addition of sugar to the juice? I find all of the videos amazing and will have to look into that variety of grape. I will probably have to grow grapes in the greenhouse from now on, we had frost in July, came close to frost a couple of weeks ago and have frost forecast this weekend. Grapes need a long season here, so if things get worse by the year, growing them outdoors will be futile. Thanks both.
@@maconsions I actually used the steamer. I used it on apples the first time and it was excellent. The only thing I found hard was that the first amount comes out really quickly, whereas it slows with each jar. I think I should have let it accumulate in the base of the steamer and drained it all at once. The cans in the rack above the hot water in the canner sealed in the hot steam given the time it took So I had to put fresh lids on to process them all together. I bought the steamer for a range of fruit and with a view to canning juice. I have 6 pints of apple juice canned, I already have citrus as that arrives in the Autumn/ Winter for me, but I just juice that and pasteurise it before canning it. I aim to try the steamer on grapes, but my vine is only new (planted before Christmas) but I have 5 bunches of grapes on it - and they are gorgeous - fingers crossed for next year. I am concentrating on canning fruit this year as I am still waiting for the pressure canner that I ordered a couple of months ago - so no chance of pressure canning for now. I have canned numerous fruit segments etc and I have mangoes arriving this week, so I will can some of those. I used to use lemon juice in water to keep the appearance of the fruit, but I managed to source 'Fruit Fresh' this week. Not easy getting any of these products in the UK. Thanks for the help and take care! Happy canning!
Oh, I am jealous. I am in TN almost on the KY border and we do occasionally get 20 degree weather and they will die. So, have to stick with the ones that I have. They are very rich. TIP: One thing I do with mind is to grind up seeds and all and make juice - no sugar - then I use it as part of the water to make jello - so getting all of that Resveratrol in my jello :-)
@@DeepSouthHomestead I usually add blueberries or cherries in my jello and maybe some Stevia, so I did not notice any bitter in my farm grapes with seeds - they are sure bitter to just eat (forget the seeds) off the vine. But, made into a juice and then freeze it and then use a little with each jello I make.
, I'm in North East Alabama do you think my bird birds are ready. I had a stroke and I cannot talk right my my that was saying you have I have them all over my property do you think that already for somebody to go and pick them for me thank you very much I love your place and Dad news talking to to me
All the plants on our SE Alaska island seem off this year. We still have salmon berries - usually here and gone May and June. Also, we have ripe huckleberries - usually not ripe until September. Then the fireweed - usually flowers and gone in July - we still have blooms. Simply strange. These are all wild plants - not planted by anyone - native here. At least the salmon runs have been true to nature.
Ours were ready early too.. So, was the sweet potatoes. We had to get ours to prevent having any. Sugar ants are everywhere here. I've never seen them this bad ever.

does the juice lose nutritional value if you steam juice it?

Your jelly is PERFECT. ☺
Great video. Folks don’t know how to make homemade jello anymore. It’s the best.
Never heard of such a critter! Would love to try them ❤️
Beautiful!!
I've harvested a bunch of summit, fry, Dixie and Cowart. So delicious.
I made the muscadine hull pie several time last year or 2. It tastes better than cherry pie. Share the recipe again gor new visitors.

You are on the wrong side of the storm - I have not heard how wide the storm is, but your side could get some heavy rain and winds, so please be safe and healthy.
Now I need to find more no sugar added recipes to make!
You can use the muscadine skins and make fried pies. I freeze mine for winter
the hull of a scuppernong is very healthy for lots of people eat them they have something that nothing else has very good for you
Best jelly ever. Nothing comes close.
Good afternoon thank you for the video love both of these grapes.
Praying for y'all to stay safe during these storms. God bless
Good job miss wanda. Beautiful jelly
I just saw weather i will be praying for you. 15" of rain is going to really fill your pond...stay safe
Hopefully the fish stay in their ponds.
NC here.
scuppernongs half half the sugar content of grapes this is good for people like me i have watch my sugar intake the taste is still very good

You can take cuttings and plant them. In time, they make their own shade with lots of lush growth.

I used to use lemon juice in water to keep the appearance of the fruit, but I managed to source 'Fruit Fresh' this week. Not easy getting any of these products in the UK.
Thanks for the help and take care! Happy canning!
Yummy 😋
Does anyone know Where I can find one of those strainers and the other tool she is using?
Taaka Bennett restaurant supply. Kitchen Kaboodle, Tractor Supply. Etc.

That’s beautiful! Are Catawba grapes grown in your area? Either wild or domesticated?
Any idea how to get rid of chipmunks?
No we don't have them here.
@@DeepSouthHomestead The price to pay for the lack of snakes.
@@kathyyoung3484 I think I would rather have the chipmunks.
@@DeepSouthHomestead Me too.
Our scuppernongs are super sweet this year!
Oh, I am jealous. I am in TN almost on the KY border and we do occasionally get 20 degree weather and they will die. So, have to stick with the ones that I have. They are very rich. TIP: One thing I do with mind is to grind up seeds and all and make juice - no sugar - then I use it as part of the water to make jello - so getting all of that Resveratrol in my jello :-)
The seeds of these are very bitter.
@@DeepSouthHomestead I usually add blueberries or cherries in my jello and maybe some Stevia, so I did not notice any bitter in my farm grapes with seeds - they are sure bitter to just eat (forget the seeds) off the vine. But, made into a juice and then freeze it and then use a little with each jello I make.
That just so reminds me of my mom in the kitchen. Will be a welcome thing on toast in the winter😊
Hopefully y’all stay safe with the Hurricane tonight and tomorrow

All the plants on our SE Alaska island seem off this year. We still have salmon berries - usually here and gone May and June. Also, we have ripe huckleberries - usually not ripe until September. Then the fireweed - usually flowers and gone in July - we still have blooms. Simply strange. These are all wild plants - not planted by anyone - native here. At least the salmon runs have been true to nature.
Are the grapes? The leaves look like a grape.
Yes, natural southern plants in the grape family.
Ours were ready early too.. So, was the sweet potatoes. We had to get ours to prevent having any. Sugar ants are everywhere here. I've never seen them this bad ever.
Way too many commercials. I'm out.
I didnt get any commercials
RUclips does it not us.
