Default Re: "Amythest Beautyberry" shrub...

I have to have quite a few bushes full of berries before I can make jam though Sherry!

We did have our first frost last night so I will be cutting rose hips today! You never have as much as you thought you would have by the time your fruit cooks down.

My sister and I gathered what we thought was a TON of wild muscadine grapes a couple of years ago to make some jelly. And the amount of sugar you have to have - WOW! But it was the best grape jelly I have ever eaten, and the most beautiful brilliant purple color I have ever seen. The kitchen smelled heavenly. I think we each got maybe 8 of the small jars of jelly out of it.

Anyway, knowing how many grapes we had then I can imagine how many beautyberries it would take!
