Grapes (Fruit)

I like grapes. :)
 
I like grapes too.

Sometimes, I'll just sit there plucking those little things off and eat them for hours. :)
 
I have allergies to many things but as far as I know - not grapes.
who has a favorite fruit?
 
I like all different fruit. I don't have allergic to fruits.

Yeah, I like grape juice too. ;)
 
I love grapes and we grow them ourselves. I made jelly out of green grapes and it tastes good. I never knew grapes are bad for dogs and our dogs ate them for years till they passed away. Now I keep my dogs away from grapes.
 
jillio, how do you make the jelly?

grape and raisin toxicity in dogs controversial - according to my holistic vets, it is not exactly known what is it with grapes - it could only be certain dogs and grapes, or the pesticides used with grapes because traditionally they are heavily sprayed. Or it could be a certain amount of grapes over time, either alone or in combination with other factors like vaccine toxicity. But the holistic vets I have spoken with feel there is not enough veterinary proof that is grapes altogether. Now conventional vets feels differently - but they are not trained in nutrition.
 
I even like muscadine grapes. Musky, sour and wonderful. They make great jelly if you can ever find them.

My ex mother in law made wine jelly. She never drank the stuff, but when she came across "leftover" wine, she would make some great jelly from it. I wish I had that recipe.

I put the grapes in a stock pot with just a little tiny bit of water to keep them from sticking. Then I simmer them until the juices start to flow well, and the pulp has cooked down a bit. Then I strain all of that through cheese cloth to remove seeds and skins. Measure the juice, put it back in the pot, and add sugar at a ratio of 1/2 sugar per 1 cup juice. Then cook on simmer until it starts to gel.

I love muscadine jelly, and wild plum jelly. Both are tart and sweet at the same time.

To do wine jelly, use 1 cup sugar to 1 cup wine and cook to the jellying point. Or you can use powdered pectin to make it set up and use less sugar. Just measure the wine the same as you would fruit juice.
 
I like the red grapes the best. :) I'm eating them right now as well.
