I've recently finished making jam from 10 gallons of muscadines! There is a part of me that is just a little bit sad that it's all over until next year, but I do enjoy the feeling of accomplishment that comes with completing a task.
After picking the muscadines from two locations near my home in Arkansas, I made the jam according to my grandmother's jam recipe using only a small amount of spring water, muscadines and pure cane sugar.
Right now, I'm relaxing at home for just a little bit, sipping on Muscadine Tea and thought I would share the very simple recipe here.
Muscadine Tea
16oz of your favorite unflavored tea - I use only one tea bag for this size for a mild taste
1 heaping teaspoon of Muscadine Jam
While your tea is still hot from preparation, stir in a heaping teaspoon of Muscadine Jam. It's the perfect blend of fruity sweetness. Its great hot or cold, so enjoy your preference.
I encourage you to buy from local merchants, but if you can't find muscadine jam in your area, please visit my shop on ETSY and you will find some there while it lasts.
