The
best jelly that I have ever eaten was made with wild grapes. My
grandmother was a marvelous cook, and she also knew the names and uses
for so many flowers and plants. We used to go on walks, and she would
point things out to me and explain what they were. One day we found a
patch of wild grapes, small and reddish, and I asked her if she could
make jelly. I didn't realize how many grapes it would take to make jars
of jelly to line up on the pantry shelf. My wonderful Gran was able to
take our small little treasure of grapes and make one perfect jar of
jelly. One of the short, half-pint quilted-glass jars. I can still see
it and remember the taste of that sweet jelly. When I held the jar up to
the sunlight coming through the window, it glowed like a garnet gem. Sunday, December 25, 2016
JUST PERFECT--one small jar of jelly, made with a world of love
