Making Uncle Steve's Grape Jelly in Appalachia
Рет қаралды 61,967
2 жыл бұрынLast week my brother Steve shared his grape harvest with me. Watch this video to see how Corie and I turned the bounty into jelly. I also point out wild Fox Grapes that grow in the mountains of Appalachia and share a few stories about them from Pap. This video really highlights the importance of putting up food in Appalachia and making sure the next generation continues the tradition.
Grape Jelly with low sugar pectin
5lbs of grapes processed to extract juice
You'll need 5 1/2 cups juice
3 1/2 cups sugar
Mix 1/4 cup sugar (from the 3 1/2 cups sugar) with sure jel low sugar pectin and stir into grape juice. Cook until mixture comes to a boil. Add rest of sugar; stir to fully dissolve sugar. Bring to a rolling boil and boil one minute. Ladle hot jelly into hot sterilized jars and seal. Can be water bath processed for 5 minutes if so desired.

Mother always made jelly, and we did pick a lot of wild grapes and raspberries in the woods near us. Mother used a jelly bag (old pillowcase) to strain her jelly, and she used Certo liquid pectin. If she couldn't find liquid pectin, she'd be in an awful snit. She used old baby food jars to put it in. After the jelly was in the jars, a layer of paraffin wax went on top, then the cap. You know that was a long time ago. It's a wonder we lived! That was life in the wild and woolly 1960's. So many things that we did back them would just curl your hair now. Thanks for another wonderful video, it amazes me how familiar a lot of things you do are so familiar to me.

I think that it's great that you have such a wonderful helper. My grandmother told me that her mother taught her how to cook and stuff. My grandmother came up from 04 through 20 30 40 ect. I remember that she said that when she and her family came here from Tennessee that they rode in a wagon and horses. It took several days. I remember my grandmother saying that when my grandfather wanted to go visit his family they would take off walking thru the woods he knew all of the short cuts there were few roads and no cars. I know back then people would invite you to stay over night or let you rest. It was such a wonderful time my father told me that an old country preacher came around in an old pickup and take them to church the truck was full so the kids stood on the running boards and rode to the church at the old brush arbor.

She made a fig chutney with walnuts that was unforgettable. And the candied figs!! My grandmother canned many things. I loved the watermelon rind pickles and jam & pineapple/pear preserves & 🍑 peaches & pears. You are so sentimental. I love it. My mother's mother made juice from the concord grapes was delicious. But I loved her baking. Her rolls were amazing & cheese pastries. She also canned baby grape leaves for her stuffed grape leaves that were gold. I am getting lost in memories. Thank you.

I think my favorite jelly is probably fig, but I do love grape jelly. We had grape vines growing up and while we never made jelly - I think my mom felt like she'd made enough of it when she was a kid from their grape vines - we did pick the leaves early in the season to make stuffed grape leaves, and I loved eating the grapes right from the vine. We also had peach trees and fig trees and there is nothing like picking fruit from your tree and eating it right there in the yard!

Seventy years ago, I remember helping {watching} my German Grandma make Grape Jelly and Pear Peel Butter. After finishing the jelly, she would make tarts with it. I got to cut the pastry with a noodle cutter; and the sprinkle sugar over the tarts before they went into the oven. The Pear Peel Butter was my absolute favorite. The recipe, has been lost thru time and the pear trees are long gone, but I still remember the Bee Stings when I refused to give up my Pear Peel Butter sandwich. Thanks for the memories.......

In addition to my grandparents ' peaches, we visited my great-grandparents (Gram and Granddad) every weekend. Gram was a little, old mountain woman who was born and raised in a hollow outside of Louisville. She, Grandad, and my grandpa moved to Arizona in 1916. Gam grew up making biscuits every morning and homemade bread every other day. Granddad was a beekeeper as a hobby, and to provide fresh honey for the family. When we'd visit Gram and Granddad, Gram would make biscuits and slather it with fresh butter she got from one of the neighbors, then slather them in fresh honey. I especially loved the honey that was still in the comb.

Aside from all the tomatoes my parents put up, we had a wild grape vine that ran the length of one side of our property. I remember my mom making jelly and at that time, she poured paraffin on top of them rather than using lids. She also made crab apple jelly from the tree in our yard. It was such a pretty pale pink and I really loved the taste of it.

My grandma made what she called “Black Cap Jelly”. The best I can describe the berries is a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry. The aroma was wonderful and the jelly just sparkled. It was always my favorite and when we came to visit, Grandma always asked me if I wanted a piece of “jelly bread”. It was Wonder Bread with a generous slather of her home churned butter and Black Cap Jelly. She also made her strawberries into “Freezer Jam” and it was as good as any fresh strawberry. Talk about summer in a jar! Grandma and Pop-Pop raised strawberries for farmer’s market when I was growing up in Ritchie County, West Virginia. Don’t we always think that where we grew up was the prettiest place in the world! ‘Deed, it was. Thank you for taking me back to those dusty old roads, Miss Tipper. I appreciate all you do to Celebrate Appalachia.

My parents ran a convenience store in VA with a kitchen where my mom cooked (famous for her fried chicken) and they sold vegetables and fruits my daddy grew. He used to sell styrofoam cups filled with scuppernongs on the counter by the cash register. A man came by one day and interviewed my dad and ate some of those grapes. He was a food writer whom I have since seen on Food Network's "Best Thing I Ever Ate." He was working on a book and my parents' store was included in the original book titled Southern Belly by John T. Edge. Later reprints don't include their story as the store is now closed. He described my mom as having auburn hair which she did not then nor has ever had auburn hair! We all got a kick out it...I went to the library where I live and checked it out. I have my own copy now. I've made grape jelly with store-bought juice but never had grapes to make it from scratch!

My mother lost her mother at birth & was raised by a aunt. She had 3 sisters & 1 brother. She was born in 1925. Times were hard then & she started making bread at age 12 and made 6 loaves a week. She did that for 78 years. I remember her making jams & jelly of every kind. We only needed 2-3 loaves a week and she gave away 3-4 loaves a week often with some jam or jelly. I remember us doing 60 jars of blackberry jam one July. Every teacher I had got a loaf a week. The Lord gave us more than we needed. Mom passed in 2020 at the age of 94. I sure do miss the fresh jam on on a hot slice of her bread. Thanks for jarring my memories.

We have wild grapes we call Mustang grapes, they are very similar to the grapes you are processing and are very acidic, but make excellent jelly. I do the same process that you showed and its the best grape jelly ever. If I don’t have enough juice for a last batch, I’ll add apple juice and make a grape-apple jelly. I never thought to freeze extra, but I have added sugar and canned it for juice to drink.

Hi I'm new to your channel. Thank you for sharing, as you did a fantastic post! I know your home smelled magnificent while cooking down the 🍇. I just picked my Concord 🍇which are fairly new vines. I learned from my grandmother how to make jam at the age of 15 and think of her always. Granny was important to me, as she always made pies, cookies, goodies, dinner and the best hot cocoa and everything was made from scratch and delicious! I'm soon 66 years old and yes the memories we have are dear and special to our hearts! I know see her and other family members in Heaven.♥️🙏🍇👍

I love grape jelly. In my house when we fold the white bread with jelly, we call it a jelly taco.

Right! I wonder if wine grapes are usually the ones we see most? I wonder how old his vines are. Growing grapes is so intensive and amazing imo. To think some wine vines are 100s of years old

Grape jelly was the first jelly I ever made. We made it in 7th grade home economics class. We used bottled grape juice and sealed the tops of the jars with wax. That probably was 1970.

I watched your blackberry jam video.....I have blackberries I've been picking! I like the idea of giving as gifts. Sometimes I make a pie or two. Loved your video today.

I think jars of jelly or other things you put up make great gifts 🙂

I pick wild black raspberries for jelly in the summer. Love getting out in the woods and turning those berries into delicious jelly and cobbler! Yum!

Back in the day, I made Strawberry freezer jam. We ate it on bread, toast, with peanut butter, and on ice cream. We had grapes on out arbor, but no one wanted grape jelly. We ate the grapes like crazy though!! 🌞🍇🍓
