This was my first time doing this, and I had no clue what I was doing. The first step was walking out to my muscadine tree, pictured here.  No, muscadines don't grow on trees, yes, that's a muscadine tree anyways because the vines have crawled up it. Most of mine are the little purple guys, but I also have one vine of the big green guys, which I think might technically be scuppernongs? This is all very new to me.  Next up, I blended them and started boiling them in a pot.  Why are they neon purple? Impossible to say! Is anything fit for human consumption neon purple? Not to the best of my knowledge! Then it was time to strain them. Apparently there's a thing called a juicing bag you can get, but I don't have one, so I used cheesecloth and this setup:  It didn't work very well. I ended up straining through a much larger cheesecloth into a bowl, not pictured. Then it was time to taste the fruit of my labors. And it's terrible. Real tart. Just a garbage fruit.

Let it ferment, you'll get bad wine or OK vinegar. It's just grape juice.

Update, I put some sugar in, and now it's pretty ok. I think maybe muscadines are just cranberries.

Muscadines are crazy for how uncannily they taste like tomato on the outside and muskmelon on the inside. Utterly bizarre and fascinating.

I'm thinking of yanking all the vines out of the tree and rebuilding the.. trellis? Vineyard? Whatever you call the posts and wires that grapes are supposed to grow on so I have better muscadine and scuppernong access next year.

Slugworth posted:I looked into it, seems reasonably straightforward, but I'll need more muscadines. I don't know if I get any more this season or if that was it. There are a bunch up way high in the tree, but they're for the squirrels. Only make muscadine wine if you are trying to pick up Marlboro grandmas at a beach music festival. That is it's only known purpose.

Can we talk about how absolutely loving dismal beach music is? Every festival, fair, what have you, is beach music. And I had never heard of beach music before moving here, and the first time I heard the phrase I was like "oh, so they're gonna be playing like, Beach Boys covers? Cool" and then they absolutely did not play Beach Boys covers.
