Grapes

The grapes are ripening. They are a lovely shade of purple-blue but the size of large blueberries.

First recipe trial will be a grape pie. (Thanks Krista's Mom for the recipes!)  After that we'll see if we might be up for Jam.

They are time intensive and my fingers are seriously stained but I'm excited.  There must be thousands- Not that I'm counting.

  1. The grape pie was great but time intensive.
    The next try was grape juice. It was so intense you can taste the antioxidants repairing every cell in your body. Now I'm trying to get them manipulated into jelly.

  2. Hi,
    I just saw your blog looking for grapes that would grow in zone 10-11b. What grapes grow for you? So happy to find your site!

  3. I haven't been able to determine the type of grape yet. They are small and purple, four seeds each. It's a very old vine. And I'm guessing, since I knew the previous owner, that he probably brought them over from Greece.
