Weekly Recipe
|
If you're interested in trying your hand at preserves or if you're an experienced canner, Muscadine Preserves are really tasty and make an excellent holiday gift. This just makes a small test batch, add more fruit for more jars of preserves. So good on a hot buttered biscuit on a cold morning and they are really easy to make, too!
Easy Muscadine Preserves 
1. Remove stems from 1 pint muscadines, rinse well.
2. Cut grapes in half, remove seeds.
Chop fruit into bits, measure how much you have (should be 1-1.5 cups per pint). Place in a pan with 1/2 cup water.
3. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary to prevent sticking.
4. Add 3/4 cup sugar for each cup of fruit and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt. Cook at a "large simmer" or "low boil" for 15-20 minutes, until thickened. (Keep stirring as the preserves thicken to prevent sticking.)
5. Carefully pour into hot sterilized jars, leave ¼-inch head space. Carefully wipe jar mouths with a clean wet towel and screw on seals and rings.
6. Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes to preserve for up to a year or keep unprocessed jars in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
