Has anyone made mullberry jelly? I have just started canning, I normally freeze things or short can in the refrigerator, but my mullberry tree is full this year.

I agree Robin. With the way prices are rising, and the GMO in the foods today, not only is it more cost effective, it is also healthier.

I have not canned since I was a little girl, along side my mother. She canned everything, tomatoes, zuccini, pears, peaches, all summer long.. oh what a drag for a little girl who wanted to be outside playing!
I swore I would never ever become a canner, but here I am some decades later begging hubby for a big pressure cooker so we can get started!! LOL my how times have changed! :D

If you don't want to start making wine with the concords, you can check locally to see if there are any home brewers around that would put it to good use. When I get home I have to check to see if my grapes are ready or if the critters got to them first :) For the past 10 yrs I've just been letting the critters feed on them because I had no clue what to do with them besides eat them raw.

Oh Jan wish I was close enough--I'd take them off your hands. I cook them down, make some jelly but any leftover juice goes into the freezer. It is so delish in winter. You can dilute it quite a bit after thawing too. I served this to an English friend and she was enthralled--having never had Concord grape juice before. She searched for it and finally found Welch's in Harrod's. Now it's more available she says.

Does anyone here have a use for concord grapes other then canning the juice and making jelly or jam??... I have a bumper crop and probably need to just give them away after I make a few qts. of juice.

Gayle... There is a recipe for large cukes... called Wedding Ring pickles. My mom used to make them when the hidden cukes were found and were too big for regular pickles. You can do an internet search for Wedding ring pickles.
