MUSCADINE GRAPES
CAN BE USED FOR MANY
EXCELLENT PRODUCTS

Each wear large s,,:Jlus of mus
cad;rs. .prapes which might be utilized
at home, in the South, in culinary
ways is allowed to go to waste. The
best table varieties do not ship well,
but if preserved in various ways they
could add to the home food supply
the year around and in many cases
might be profitably marketed.
Muscadiner grape syrup, for exam
nle. is made without the addition OF
sugar. IT is not only good syrup
to use like maple syrup or honey, on
cakes or waffles, bat is useful as a
sugar substitute in other dishes.
Muscadine grape juice is an inexpen-
sive product, easily made. The
Thomas is the best variety of musca-
dine grapes for making grape juice,
while the .scuppernong ranks second.
In addition to. these two uses for the
grapes, canned grapes, jellies, jams,
conserves, marmalades, spiced grapes,
paste and catsup are among the many
desirable products that can be made
from them. The preparation of each
is discussed in Farmers Bulletin
1454-F. Home Utilization of Musca-
dine Grapes. by. Charles Dearing.
This bulletin, which, has recently been
issued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, and is free
while the supply lasts, combines and
supersedes three earlier publications
