Grape jam does exist. Welch's make it. It doesn't have
any fruit chunks in it and is not as gelatinous as jelly and
spreads a lot easier than jelly too.
Welch's also used to make grape preserve back ihn the 1960s. The
preserves inclued the skins. It was delicious.
I have made grape butter using the Concords that grow in the
back yard.

I think you have to be brought from early childhood to like
Concord grapes in any shape or form and that includes Welch's
grape jelly, IMHO of course!

I find that strange. I don't personally know of anyone who doesn't
like Concord grapes in some for or other.
Small range of acquaintances :-)


Have you ever tasted muscadines? You'd probably like that even less.

One of my favorite native grapes Wayne. Makes excellent jelly and wine,
even good as a table grape. Friend has vines for the green, bronze, and
the regular old purple muscadines.

I love muscadines, but haven't had any for years. My mom and grandmother
would always make jam, jelly, and bake muscadine pies. I truly miss that.

If I thought that they would actually get there for less that 3 arms
and legs I would send you some. I have both muscadine and scuppernong
vines.

Many years ago mother & I moved from NC to FL. My uncle, who knew how
much I loved scuppernongs, mailed me a cigar box full. They made it
and I was in heaven.
