Scuppernongs from JMom

It’s 11/15 as I write this and I’m just now telling you about these lovely scuppernongs we received from JMom. Early in the year I wrote about how my daughter wants to eat scuppernongs, after reading about them in To Kill a Mockingbird.

JMom promised to send us some and she did! They are so fragrant and sweet that the kitchen smelled like scuppernongs for a few hours — until they were gone, that is. We did peel them, and yes, like a commenter in my previous post said, they are a bit more gelatinous than regular grapes. The seeds were bigger too. But they were a pleasure to have and I wouldn’t mind growing them in my yard at all. I gotta find me that farm first.
