From a grape I’d never heard of to something I’m keen to slather on a biscuit.
Ah, thescuppernong grape.
It’s the stuff of Southern legend, I’m told.

“The scupper-what?”
all the clerks say.
How Do You Eat A Scuppernong Grape?
Fresh scuppernongs look unlike most any grape you’d find in the grocery store.
To my shock, they are these bouncy, bulbous, only three-in-the-palm of my hand grapes.
But there are many ways to consume scuppernong grapeseven frozen.
Though you might eat the thick skin, some people prefer to only eat the sweet and juicy innards.
They will squeeze out the flesh, then remove the seed before eating.

Scuppernong Wine
The scuppernong produces a wine often described as musky and wild.
SomeSouthern vineyardswill sell muscadine must, which will set you up for at-home winemaking.
The process is relatively simple but does require some patience.
If you want to have some real fun, though, make a cocktail, like thisMississippi Bourbon Punch.
Tart cranberry juice meets fresh lime, syrupy sweet grenadine, and dry wine for a nice summery drink.
Scuppernong pie, anyone?
it’s possible for you to also try these sweetMuscadine Dumplings.
