Subject: SCUFFIN and MUSKIN DINES
For Keytoniamcclendon - I suspecty what you refer to is a
variety of grape common in the South referred to as Scuppernong
or Muscadine. If you buy a package of fruit pectin such as
Sure-Jell or Certo you should find recipes for grape jam and
grape jelly. - Arnold Pancratz, Maitre de

Subject: Custard/Italian whipped cream cake
To: posts@chitterlings.com
Hi to all food lovers,
I am looking for a receipe for an Italian whipped
cream cake. All I remember is from my childhood days
and we had one on the table each Sunday after church.
I say Italian, but I do believe it is in any culture
that enjoys whole cream in cooking. My mother thinks
that a custard was used in the batter and cream icing.
The cake was always yellow and had such a smooth
flavor and not bitting as found in receipes that use
too much sugar.
If
anyone can help me I would really appreciate. Have
had a craving lately to reinvent my child hood days in
the area of food.
Best
Greg

Subject: Low-fat dessert recipes
Hi Willie:
I am enjoying the recipes! I have tried several of the recipes
and they are great! It makes me feel as though I have entered my
grandma's kitchen (with the tea cakes and pigs feet) with all the
terrific down-home southern recipes.
Anyway, I have lost 65 pounds and want to lose another 15 pounds
and am looking for low-fat dessert. I am an exercise guru and am
in love w/TaeBo, but would also like to enjoy some delicious
low-fat desserts.
Thanks, Angela

Subject: Re: Scuffin or Muskin Dines
To: posts@chitterlings.com
Now I'm going to assume you mean scuppernongs and muscadines and
hope some others will pitch in with their own recipes. Actually
the muscadines (vitis rotundifolia) are a type of native grape
which grow in the Southern United States and include a variety
named scuppernong. The "mother vine" (the first and only) of
the
cuppernong was discovered in 1554 by a member of the Sir Walter
Raleigh colony and is still in Nags Head, NC. The belief that
muscadines are blue and scuppernongs are white is erroneous.
uscadines are several colors but the scuppernong variety is
white.
Muscadine Hull Pie
About 4 cups of muscadines
1 & 1/2 cups of sugar
1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
3 tablespoons plain flour
2 tablespoons butter
Your favorite covered pie crust
Separate hulls from pulp.
Heat pulp to a boil and simmer for 5 mins.
Press pulp through strainer to separate pulp from seeds.
Discard seeds and mix hulls with pulp.
Mix flour with sugar and lemon/lime juice and blend with hulls
and pulp.
Pour muscadine mixture in bottom crust, dot with butter, cover
with top crust.
Bake in pre-heated 425 deg. oven for about 40 mins.
Serving suggestions: Dollop a slice of pie w/ french vanilla ice
cream and a dash of cream sherry on top while it is still warm or
maybe some real whipped cream and chocolate shavings for style.
It's EV-IL, Honey! By the way, muscadines are called Bullis'es
in So. Car. and this pie is commonly made from the hulls left
after "hoggin' up" on this delicious late summer grape.

Subject: chow chow or cha cha
I am looking for a recipe that is made without sugar. Is there
anyone out there with a good recipe! I have never made it before
and most recipes include sugar. I was not sure if not including
sugar would change the recipes significantly - so all you chow
chow and cha cha experts-please help and advise! Will it be okay
to proceed and omit the sugar? Thanks!

Subject: Muscadine Grapes request
What is currently called muscadine in the US is a New World
grapes and is also referred to as scuppernong. It is a wild
grape that grows in the South. Muscadine can also be a wine
of muscat grapes. French Muscadet from the Loire Valley is
such a wine.
The deep south has a very plentiful supply of
muscadine/scuppernong grapes as they like warm winters. You can
make jelly, jam, juice, mead and regular wine and also eat them
for their prized high flavor.
Use the same measurements for making Concord Grape Jelly. You
will have to get a wine book for making wine. The juice is good
to freeze and serve in place of orange juice for a pick-me-up
