[Sca-cooks] Mayhaw syrup & Muscadine Jelly

[JAMES REVELLS]

Well if you want some really good Mayhaw jelly you need to just go & pick 
you some berries out of the bog & make it your own self, but it might be 
hard to do this year in southwest GA due to a lack of rainfall.  Back after 
Dad got out of the Army in '69 & moved us down to the Cedar Springs/Jakin 
area in Early County, he got on a kick of us making all sorts of jellies, 
jams & preserves, as well as canning or freezing all sorts of vegetables. 
Guess who got stuck with most of the growing & picking?  Still think the 
homemade stuff has a lot more flavor than any of the commercial stuff I have 
tasted.  Don't forget to get some Scrupling jelly as well as it's close 
relative Muscadine Jelly.  Another thing is the Fig preserves.  Mrs. Patty 
sent some up with my brother last year & I still have some in the kitchen. 
I ration myself on those childhood treats.
