We have had grape vines that volunteered in our yard for years, without them ever producing any grapes. Finally, this year, we got grapes! I've put 5 one quart ziploc bags into the freezer today. These are very small, pea size and a bit more, blueberry size. Loaded with seeds, not much pulp. But close to a gallon of grapes as our reward for not getting rid of these vines
steam juice them and can the juice, squish juice them and make wine, dry them for raisins, freeze them for later. What ever you do with domestic grapes....
Our domestic Concords can be rather finicky....this year a good year so I don't even know if I will harvest wild grapes except to do a taste comparison. But jam, Jam, JAM!...wild grapes make excellent jam and are so flavorful that you can dilute your cooked mash before adding sugar and pectin. I just wash the good ones, cook them in a small amount of water, make a mash from them with a potato masher, filter out seeds and larger solids with a colander, then take the juice and add sugar to taste and dilute to desired strength. Follow any regular jam procedure from there for pectin content and canning. Great stuff!....
