Today I made wild grape jelly. My grandchildren and their PaPa picked the grapes for me, but I just didn't have time to make the jelly right then. I froze the grapes to save for when I had more time. I use the same recipe for Wild Grapes as I do for elderberry, with the exception of reducing the lemon juice to 3 Tablespoons. You could even prob. reduce it to 2 T. Wild Grape Jelly is a tart jelly.....but very good !

I've also made homemade loaf bread today. It turned out just pretty good !
