RE: Jam

Mom never seeded her grapes first.  After she cooked them, she ran them
through a cone shape colander with a wooden paddle of sorts and pushed the
pulp through san seeds.  Making jelly is a fun family activity too.

Besides hunting down a car this weekend, we made a batch of grape jam with a
gallon of muscadine grapes we rescued from a road-side vendor. 
It turned out surprisingly good. The only tedious part was seeding the
grapes, but even that wasn't too bad. This adventure has inspired Ms Fatma
to want to try making beautyberry jelly. Anyone ever done that? 
I've got a couple of recipes from the Florida native plant society that look
interesting but definitely labor intensive.
