Update: Buttered, toasted bread, topped with home grown and homemade muscadine jam this morning. Wow! Mrs. Curley said we'd have some for lunch in sandwiches (with peanut butter) but we all protested. It's too good (and too precious) to waste on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. (This may seem to be no big deal to many, but for us transplanted cityfolk, every success on this front is exciting and gratifying.)
Mrs. Curley and number 2 daughter spent the afternoon yesterday in the kitchen with cheescloth, boiling water and muscadine grapes. At the end of the day they had canned a half-dozen or so 1/2 pint jars of muscadine jam. And it is good! (Can't wait for breakfast this morning!)
We do have grapes left over (and there is more to be picked) so we may make more jam or just eat some grapes.
