do any of you have a recipe for grape preserves that includes the grape pods as well?
If you do would you like to share it with me?

Like this?
Whole grapes Sugar
Squeeze out pulp from grapes by hand, putting hulls (skins) in a bowl and pulp (including seeds) in a saucepan. Chop hulls, if desired.
Cook pulp until soft. Using a sieve to remove seeds, strain pulp into bowl with hulls. Place hull and pulp mixture into measuring cup to measure. For each cup of mixture, add 3/4 to 1 cup sugar to taste.
Place sweetened mixture in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring gently, for 15 minutes until mixture reaches 220 to 222 degrees on a candy thermometer. Alternatively, use the spoon test: Dip a cold, frozen spoon into mixture and hold away from heat. Tilt it over a plate, and if the mixture breaks from the spoon in what is called a “sheet,” like a waterfall, then it has reached the jellying point and is done. Remove from heat.
Divide mixture into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at top of jars. Screw on lids and process 10 minutes in a water-bath canner, following manufacturer’s instructions

I think a care package could be arranged - but if it's on the porch by itself when you open the door, in a flaming brown paper bag - don't stomp it out!

yep, ty. ya got one for cherries, the same way? Like this? 4 c. sweet cherries, tightly packed 3 c. sugar In a 4-quart saucepan crush the cherries lightly to start the juice flow. Boil cherries and their juice about 10 minutes, or until fruit is tender. Add sugar to the cherries, stir well, and boil for 5 minutes while they absorb more of the sugar. Stir the hot preserves to prevent floating fruit, then pour into hot sterlized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headroom; process for 5 minutes in a boiling water bath at (212 degrees fahrenheit or 100 degrees centigrade). Makes 2 pints. We're gonna expect hot fresh biscuits with preserves at the convention this Sept.
