Buffalo Grapes, Harvest to Jelly. 8 Sept 2023

 Here is how the Buffalo Grapes looked a couple of ago.  I planted this variety because it is a Concord type that can be grown and produces in my area.   This vine has been growing for ten years.

I picked a tub of grapes.  There are more than that, still on the vines.

I cleaned up about 5 pounds of the darkest and bluest.

And made grape jelly.

The flavor is really rich.  I have to wait until tomorrow to see how well it gelled.

Buffalo is the most prolific of my grape vines, so far.  The same row also has Himrod.

Those are very tasty, but don't have that "grapey" Concord type flavor.  Some of the others had a few clusters.  They might grow faster with irrigation and fertilizer.  But I think the flavor is richer without those, and I don't need that many grapes.
