Deep, Southern sweetness captured in a jar—Amish-made Muscadine Grape Jelly delivers the bold, sun-ripened flavor of the vine in every bite

Muscadines are thick-skinned, large, native Southeastern U.S. grapes with a unique "slip-skin" texture—meaning you pop the gelatinous, intensely sweet, and aromatic pulp out of the tough, slightly tart skin. They are often described as having a musky, fruity flavor, with bronze or dark purple skins and large seeds.

Muscadine grape vines are native to the southeastern US and can be seen growing in dry, sandy, and rocky soil of upland forests, and along roadside swamps and thickets. They are often described as a "taste of the South" and are frequently used in jellies, jams, and wines due to their pungent, sweet flavor.

  • Jellies are seedless and have a smooth, see-through texture
  • Preserves will contain large pieces of fruit in each jar.
