Wild grapes

Recommended Posts

Out and about yesterday I found several wild grape vines. About the size of a pea, in a cluster, and purple. Good taste except the seeds are most of it. Anyone ever do anything with them? I've been snacking on them all day and haven't died lol. I have pictures but can't post them

You can make a jam from them or wait for the bears to come and eat them!

Mash em up

Throw some in a 5 gallon bucket

pour in some water

put in some sugar

put in some yeast

wait

 

It will bubble for about 4-7 days. After it stops bubbling, let is set another day or two to clear and settle.

 

run ya off a couple of quarts of wild grape brandy in your still

 

You do have a still don't ya?

This does seem to be a great year for grapes! Many years are a complete bust. My husband makes wine, but not from wild grapes. We do enjoy eating them when we get the chance though.

I remember when you made some great Prickly pear Margarita's over at Jim's house. Good stuff!

Those small 1gallon stove-top stills are quick and easy(eBay or make it yourself), gives a nice scent to the house too...

So I have been told...

3 gallon pot still works well will sour mash... I've been told. Put some copper mesh in the worm and get a little reflux action too. I've been told.
