Last week I was blessed to be able to harvest muscadine grapes from a friend's vines in her yard. She didn't even know she had them and when I told her of it she said for me to pick all that I wanted as she wouldn't use them. So I was able to get 36-pounds of them! I worked them up and made jelly, syrup and juice. Of course I am giving my friend some of the goods as well. There are still more on her vines that I am going to pick maybe this week or next and she told me I could pick the vines in her Mom's yard too. (Her Mom's home is for sale and no one lives there right now, so I have free roam of that too!) What a blessing this is. Attachments:

We have thornless blackberries along our back fence....haven't had enough for jelly but have enjoyed eating them after washing. We actually planted them a couple of yrs. ago for the birds...our neighbors dog ate some of the bush but they've moved so we split & shared the plants as they multiply rapidly...!

Recipes can be found on my blog... inthekitchenwithmrsm.blogspot.com/I made juice, jelly and syrup so far. I also have another 2 places that I was blessed to find out about to pick more muscadines. I was also informed this Sunday of a place to pick all the free blackberries that I want. GOD is certainly good to me. ~Keeper

OH YUM! I saw the recipes the other day - you've done a fantastic job with God's provision. I am so thrilled He has blessed you so abundantly with such a huge bounty of summer fruits, especially after all the rain you had this spring kept you all from getting your garden in before it got too hot. We certainly do serve a WONDERFUL Lord! tb
