    just in case anyone was curious, wild grape is actually pretty safe/easy to forage as a beginner in the Northeast US! the main lookalike is moonseed which would taste godawful and also have one big crescent-shaped seed. nothing else really grows in a vine with similar looking leaves and black, bunched fruits. grapes, brambleberries, and silverberry are probably the easiest/safest things to get started with if you live in this area :)

    I love this video for how relaxed and at ease Claire is! (besides the thorn attack lol) Seeing her making in the moment calls and kind of just winging it instead of sticking to a strict recipe is a refreshing change. Happy new year!

    Concord grape is the quintessential grape flavor you smell and taste in candy, but rarely find the store, unfortunately. I've made so many things with them when we pick... Jam, tarts, jelly, scones, juices, candy. I hate their seeds but incredible taste. Depending on size, deseeding can be done similar to cherry destoning which will make life easier. I've never pealed the grapes, but the only ones we find in my area of Maine are single seed.

      @kristypie 5 місяців тому +3

      I remember the first time I ever had a fresh concord grape. I was an adult, and absolutely surprised that they tasted like grape. I had never had a grape that tasted like grape flavor before and that was such an unexpected and wild experience.

    • @laura54588

      My grandma lived on a big property on a river with tons of Concord grapes she’d can and make jelly with. Now the property is sold and they bulldozed everything including the grapes to make an 8 million dollar mansion w a tennis court 😢 RIP 🪦

    I used this recipe for some blueberries that were marked down (1.99 a pound). It turned out gorgeous. Your pie made me think of a PB&J with the purple jam like appearance custard. I used your Graham cracker crust recipe but put a couple tablespoons of dehydrated peanut butter in there. turned out beautiful. Thanks for all the tips, tricks, and techniques.

    When making something out of grapes, my mom cooked the grapes whole and put them through a Foley food mill. It removes the seeds and skins of whatever you put through it and extracts all the flavor. No peeling grapes or tomatoes or apples for applesauce. It was usually my job to crank the mill. Lots of fun to watch you forage, Claire. Happy Birthday a little late!

    That tart is gorgeous!!!! Happy Birthday, Claire! What an incredible project! And delicious, I’ll bet! We spent a lot of time clearing out invasive species when we moved to our MD property 35 years ago. I wish now I hadn’t cleared out the grape vines! I made wreaths from them & still have one that I fill with evergreens every year. Now I want grapes! We have 2 native fruits in this area: paw paws and persimmons. Paw paws are custard-like with a very mild - almost bland taste, and the persimmons are incredibly astringent until after a frost.
