Muscadine grapes are native to the United States and grow well in the South's hot and humid climate. I'm having my first taste of them and then using them to make homemade grape jelly. 😁

I bought a clearance $3 grape plant that ended up being Muscadine and it has thrived beautifully here in Texas especially since I planted it and forgot about it until it came back the next year. It has been giving more and more grapes every year although I have to fight my chickens to get some for myself.

The "Fruity Fruits" series has been one of my absolute most favorites! I love all of Emmy's videos, but I have truly learned so much & been so inspired to try things that I may have been either afraid to try or simply thought were unappealing. After hearing Emmy explain the taste & textures, how they're grown & where, as well as what & what not to do while eating certain fruits, I have gone out & tried several. I can truly say I have not been disappointed yet! Her explanations & descriptions are truly delightful, as well as accompanied by her lovely personality. Watching any Emmy video is always a pleasure, but I do L♡VE Fruity Fruits & all the knowledge I have obtained this far! So, Thank you for that Emmy & keep the fruits coming & I will gladly keep eating them! 😊💜

Muscadine and scuppernong grapes are everywhere in North Carolina. You can go to vineyards and pick your own like strawberries. They give me very fond memories of Autumn. When I was a kid my Grandfather owned several large grape vines across the road from me and we could just go over there and feast. They smell so good. They are best when they are super ripe, like right before getting rotten when they have a super sweet and juicy taste and almost like a slight wine fermentation. Speaking, of Muscadine and scuppernong wine is wonderful and my favorite wine of all time. How I ate them was biting the end and the pulp center pops out of the hole (at the end where the stem was). Some people don't eat the peel, but I do. You then eat the pulp, separating the seeds from it with your mouth and teeth and spit them out as you go.

@jkaygoulet 5 лет назад

I have never been lucky enough to try them. I am in Indiana, so I am guessing that I am a bit too far north & haven't been lucky enough to cross their path yet. I am a grape fanatic though, any & all kinds... So, I have no doubt I would absolutely adore them. I did read however that the skin is crazy full of antioxidants! So, you are definitely doing it right by eating them. I read the seeds were quite nutritious as well, but it appears that everyone in this thread says they spit them out. I was hoping you could fill me in, do they just taste bad? Or are they just too big to swallow? Or is it just general practice to spit them out? Just quite curious & intrigued. I'm ready to travel south just to go hunt some down because they sound so delicious!! 😍🤣

I grew up picking these in my grandmas yard and eating them in autumn. I always stick the whole thing in my mouth then gently bite down so the inside squishes out, then spit out the peel and the seeds altogether. Muscadines and scuppernongs are quite possibly my favorite fruit of all time. They’re sour and sweet and juicy and just….heaven on earth. I’ve been desperate to grow my own plant since I bought my own home. Hoping this is the year! Edited to add: I found your channel in the middle of grocery shopping after craving some fruit, opening my delivery app to see and not know what pipino melon was. And now I’m hooked on fruity fruits. Such is life. 🤷🏻‍♀️❤️

I grew up thinking, based on my parents' pronunciation, that these were "musky- dimes". They were picked wild and made into jelly, eaten exclusively with hot buttered biscuits.

@carlatate7678 5 лет назад

Actually, my mom called them musky-dimes (she's from Arkansas), my dad, from North Mississippi, called them 'skupper-nons', which I later found is actually 'scuppernongs'. (Course if you wanna say it right you have to say 'musky-dahms' and 'skuhppr-nawns'). Apparently a scuppernong is a variety of muscadine. I'm far, far away from all this now, having moved to the UK. I wonder if can mail order muscadine jelly...

@ajacameron5710 5 лет назад

Emmy! I grew up calling these Bullet grapes! My favorite way to eat them is to lightly bite them where they connect to the stem and the pressure will pop the fruit out! (The really ripe ones are full and firm but still soft enough to let the grapes juices move around) my favorite part of the grape is the little bit of juice that's sitting between the fruit and the skin. Its AMAZING. Be careful eating the skins, they can make your mouth all itchy!!

@meaganwallwork5395 5 лет назад

Eating these is a skill you acquire with practice. We generally bite the opposite end from where the stem would be, so that the flesh goes into your mouth and leaves the skin behind. Then just bite a hole in the flesh and squeeze the seeds out. It sounds very odd to describe the process but this is the best way to describe it.

Yep. We always just pop the whole grape into our mouth, bite down gently enough to squish the grape and get all of the juice, don't bite that "loogy' deflated eyeball thingy that's in the middle with the seeds in it, it doesn't have any juice, just spit all of that out. Bite down, juice explodes into mouth, suck on the grape a little, than spit everything out. That's the way Southerners do it.

@markmelton587 5 лет назад

Emmy, in the Southern Appalachians where I grew up, the muscadine vines grow rampant in the hills and valleys. The vines can get to be 5 or 6 inches in diameter and grow all the way up to the top of the tallest trees. We would find muscadine vines on the hillsides and cut the vine loose from the ground, and back up the side of the hill while holding onto the muscadine vine, when you get as far up the hill as you can, you jump up and grap higher up on the vine, and swing AWAY AND AROUND the tree it is attached to. Everyone has messed up and swung at full speed into the side of the tree that the vine is growing on, and knocking yourself out, and falling down the tree to the ground, then rolling down the side of the hill. It's fun! When you don't break something. LOL

My great grandma lived in Mississippi and did home canning from fruit and vegetables she grew in her garden, including muscadine jelly.

Oh this jelly looks so good... thanks for all the info Emmy! 💖 Try not to use the same utensil to spread on your toast and put back in the jelly jar to either get more jelly or even worse put some back because it contaminants your jelly and will spoil much easier. Use a spoon to drop some on top of your toast and then spread with your knife. If you need more use the spoon in the jelly to drop more on top of your toast. Try to be careful not to get too much but if you do maybe share with another household member... don’t put any back that’s already been mixed with toast crumbs or butter. I learned from experience. Too much work to have the jar go bad. 🍇

The muscadines I ate as a child were always the green ones. The vacant lot down the road from my grandmas was overgrown with them when I was a child (before someone bought it and destroyed all the vines! D: ). My siblings and I used to go and eat a ton while filling grocery bags with them. We'd always come back with 2 grocery bags a piece and spoil dinner. Lol. I was very very young then. I bought a muscadine plant when I was diagnosed with my cancer 2 years ago, but it hasn't fruited, yet. Hopefully this will be the year, but I have a hard time getting to it to check it now!

We grow that fruit here in Arkansas and they look great, but I have never eaten the jelly made from them. I have a persimmon tree outside which has fruit on it, but still green and as soon as they are ripe I will be picking them to eat. You must love the grapes you have and will make jelly/jam from the fruit and I hope you are pleased with the taste.

I had these muscadine grapes for the first time a month ago. Wow... that is what you call a delicious grape. You know the sensation you get when you bite into a sausage? The taut skin rips open as your teeth puncture through the flesh? It’s very similar, as the skin of this grape is thicker. And the flavor is akin to Japanese grape flavored candy. Aromatic, fresh, and delicately sweet. It’s distinct from the typical varieties we have in the US. I got my bag of muscadines from the Vietnamese market.

I'm so excited that you got to try this amazing friut!! I'm from Western NC and have grown up eating them! You should try muscadine wine. 😊

Such a beautiful color of the jelly. Looks delicious!

@gamersenpai742 5 лет назад

Quick shortcut, put the muscadine's in a fruit juicer. Then put the juice, pulp and all in the pot with the water... (The skins give it the great color and contain a lot of the vitamin's)

@gamersenpai742 5 лет назад

Btw: Before the flood of 2016 in Lousiana, I grew them....

Muscadine wines can be really nice. From sweet to almost dry. Very popular in alot of the south. Old South Winery Natchez, MS

@mrskitkatlady 5 лет назад

My favorite varieties of Muscadine wine comes from Old South Winery! I'm a transplant to the south and when my husband told me about Muscadine wine. I thought he had lost his mind. Then he brought some home. It was love at first taste.

@royperkins3851 5 лет назад

The wild grapes and the jelly, jams, marmalade and yes the most delicious wine in the world are made from these! We picked them and nibbled away in my youth ,many delicious memories!

We had these wild growing on my parents property in south Louisiana. Along with blueberries, huckleberries, dewberries, and beauty berries. We had the best jam. And the best wine!

@bjbear5202 5 лет назад

I checked the Ball company website, that makes most of the jars and rings and lids. They have not needed the lids prewarmed before canning for decades. They changed the material they used for the seal sometime in the '70's. But everyone learns to can by word of mouth, from their grandmother's usually so word still hasn't gotten around that you don't need to do that anymore.

@markmelton587 5 лет назад

Yes, muscadines taste wonderful! If you truly want the best tasting muscading jelly and syrup, you have to go out into the woods and gather them wild. The taste is so much more intense! My Mom use to make the most awesome muscadine syrup. She would basically make jelly but used no sure-jell, she thickened it only with sugar and boiling. She did her jelly the same way. It is so much better tasting if you thicken it only with sugar, and don't use sure-jell. It's more work and time, but the difference is astounding. As far as the syrup goes, I still have old friends that still talk about my Mom's muscadine syrup over her pancakes, when they would spend the night at my house. LOL That's been almost half a century ago. Just google "no sure-jell jelly" BTW, for those who have never tried them, they are much more intensely flavored than Concord grapes, and they have a stronger "musky" taste and smell than Concords do. They are also just lousy with flavonoids.

@alexandracampbell1078 5 лет назад

Ah! Love muscadines! One of the tastiest snacks in my opinion. Been to two wineries that make muscadine grape wine when I lived in Florida. Yum!

@richardroberts4355 5 лет назад

A winery here in Alabama makes muscadine and scuppanong? wine. Both are good but the muscadine is the best. I love to eat muscadines too.

@KaaSerpent 5 лет назад

I'm from Alabama, and we had wild muscadines and scuppernongs. I love both. My grandfather had cultivated scuppernong vines in the back yard, and my grandmother used the yield to make jelly. GREAT stuff.

@JenniferMcMahonhawaii78 5 лет назад

Have you done an episode on Loofahs, yet; not a fruit, but it does have seeds; so maybe....but I find Loofahs fascinating; as it’s a body sponge/ scrubber and a food.

@KadeMadina 5 лет назад

Spent most of my summers in my youth on my family’s land in the south picking these and blackberries and bringing them back to my gma so she could make jellies and ice cream out of them. Muscadines are still to this day my favorite fruit and I’m glad more ppl will learn about them through this vid

Now I know I want to go on a wine tour here in NC to see & taste muscadine grapes. Love your hair Emmy. I've been noticing the change. Loved it before too!

@Lantanana 5 лет назад

I live down South, and I have never even heard of those! That acid taste you are talking about, may also exist in Concord grapes. When I was young, Concord grapes had a bitterness that still existed after sugar was added to jelly, or even in the fruit juice. When I buy Concord grape products now, that taste is gone. I really miss it.

I grew up with muscadines and scuppernongs (here in the south everyone I know pronounces it "scupnun" hehe). Had huge vines in the backyards of several places I lived, from Georgia to SC. The way I always ate them was to just squish out the meat from the skin. Usually if you give them a good squeeze the skin will break near the stem area and it will just pop out that morsel of sweet goodness. Never ate the skin. My grandmother and my great aunt (her sister that lived next door), made a lot of jellies from these grapes, and also had a concord vine. We had a decent plot of land back then with a nice garden, so we were always busy doing things with the fruits and veggies. So many memories (this would be back in the '70s.. so long ago) of all the aunts and cousins around all the time just being busy bees. They'd give us kids big bowls with beans to string or peas to shell, and most of that would be canned for winter.

@emmymade 5 лет назад

Aww...that's great that you have so many fond memories of your family. 😊

@EricRodgers1975 4 года назад

Some folks will also make muscadine jelly (and wine, for that matter) without the skins, for a white variety. Here in Arkansas, it's pretty easy to find muscadine jelly, juice, and wine in certain stores year-round. The fresh fruit is far less common in stores even during its harvest season, but often shows up at farmers' markets (for those who don't already have wild fruit growing nearby).

Its sooooo bizarre that you posted this video yesterday. I was grocery shopping earlier this week and saw these for the first time. I love trying new foods so I picked them up. I was specifically thinking that you should make a video eating these! Even though they are delicious, the inside texture reminded me of a loogie. I can’t say it was as pleasant as your experience lol!

@kathryndarcey08 5 лет назад

I live in South Louisiana. My great grandfather had a lot of vines of Muscadines because he would make wine from them. I remember as a kid picking them and eating right off of the vine.

@cecigoo5430 5 лет назад

I miss them sooo much! We had them grow al over our land when I was a kid in GA , we would go pick them and eat as we played. I have not had one in years but I can still remember the wonderful flavor! I am now going to search the inter webs to see if I can find a place to order some from, because I have not found any here in San Diego.

@Artist1974CH 5 лет назад

I am from Georgia and love to eat those muscadines! They are so good! You have to spit those seeds out while eating them, but you can always save those seeds and plant them! ☺️

@samoneed1 4 года назад

The version (scuppernong) I love are the green ones. I grew up eating them in Georgia. Thank you for the memory of my granny ❤

@deereating9267 5 лет назад

Foraging for muscadine and making wine is a tradition here. It's delicious. Also, quick tip, to make really clear grape jelly, leave the juice in the refrigerator overnight and in the morning pour off the top of the juice to make the jelly. This lets tartrate crystals come out of the juice and lets any other bits settle to the bottom.

@tonyellis2290 4 года назад

There are a few wine brands that make muscadine wine that I think you’d enjoy. It has an amazing flavor from the grapes and is usually very sweet, much more of a dessert wine. One of my favorites is Black River Red made by Duplin wines.

@Annonymous5411 5 лет назад

Literally was just eating some bullets aka muscadines. Both Green and Purple. Delicious. Many ways to eat them. You can eat the skin if you want (sometimes I do sometimes I don't.) I pop the whole thing in my mouth and chew it around. Then spit the seeds and sometimes the skin. Yummy.
