Been picking muscadines, wild grape.

[swampratt]

I have picked wild ones right by lock 16 as you make the last turn to the lock.
I have also found them at Love Valley.

Found wild strawberries in Tecumseh.
Or maybe Indian mock strawberries.
They were good.

I have something that grows in my yard that looks like grapes but I was told it’s something poisonous. Have to post a picture. I do have a Native American recipe for a desert with wild grapes.

Bet it's Polk....

Nailed it. Thank you. I believe the leaves are edible if you boil them a couple of times.

Gator got her granny.

Have muscadines on my place. Wildlife has always got the fruit before I do.

Made 5.5 gallons of juice last night from this harvest. Still more to pick.

Picked a many muscadine when I was a kid and lived outside Little Rock

me too, around the Russellville Ark. area. These were wild grapes were called muscadines, do other areas have diffgerent names for these same grapes?

These are cultivated varieties, much easier than hunting the wild ones. View attachment 301330
We'll run them through the steam juicer and freeze the juice for later use. View attachment 301331
The bronze ones are sweeter tasting. Probably about 16%- 18% sugar content.

My wife is drooling at the thought. She likes them made into juice, jelly or wine. There is a vineyard in Carolina (can not remember N or S) that makes wine with them.

You could grow your own. Most of these didn't get any water this summer in the drought.

I may have to talk the wife into that.
