Uses for grape jelly

[Kevin]

I made lasagna for dinner tonight, with garlic bread of course. As I was spreading grape jelly on my garlic bread. I could see everyone recoil in horror.... Honestly, I was in college before I realized other people don’t put grape jelly on garlic bread.

After everyone settled down we got to talking and I mentioned jelly omelets. Another memory from my dad’s cooking.

I checked with Google, and no mention of garlic bread with grape jelly, but many recipes for jelly omelets.

Am I alone in this? Please tell me someone has tried at least one of these????

Grape jelly, speed thin on toast, tastes purple.

I always eat grape jelly on garlic bread when we have spaghetti. I didn't know it was weird.

I like grape jelly on toast, especially Sourdough. Even Strawberry jelly. I very seldom eat toast so don't have much jelly.

I do like local honey, but since I don't eat much toast, I don't get much of that either.

Well, until recently my wife had never had grape jelly and peanut butter on cinnamon raisin bread! That was an old staple at our school lunchroom.

I just heard a new one today - haven't tried it it yet: grape jelly on a summer sausage sandwich.

 

[Kevin]

I love summer sausage, I bet with grape jelly it would be a great sandwich!

Thanks y’all, I’m glad I’m not crazy. Or at least not the only crazy one here.... ha. ha. ha.

Grape jelly in a split bologna roll with jalapeño peppers on the grill wrapped in tin foil yep it sounds nuts but oh so good.

Grape jelly on garlic bread? And to think I got grief for chicken & noodles on top of mashed potatoes. Hey, everybody to their own tastes and more power to them.

I will pass on the grape jelly on garlic bread. But no judgement from me. I am sure that there are some combinations of mine that wouldn't appeal to some of you. I will try most anything at least once though. Well, actually I won't try raw oysters. I have friends that love them but they are just to ugly to me.

What does the color purple smell like?

A bowl of homemade chili and a banana

I loved grape jelly growing up, then never had the occasion to eat it after I went into the Army.

Last year I was in Hawaii and decided I wanted some grape jelly on a bagel.

It doesn't taste the way I remember it and I ended up throwing it away.

Don't judge grape jelly by the little plastic tub you get at a restaurant. With jams and jellies, flavor is definitely associated with price. The best use sugar, not corn syrup.

Speaking of grape jelly...I've just got to tell this story. Thirty years ago my wife an I both graduated from RN school. While my wife was still in school she was doing her clinical rotation through the local health department and the nurses that worked there were regaling her with their favorite war stories. This one I've never forgotten.
They had a lady call them one day that was having trouble with her diaphragm. They told her to come to the clinic and to bring her diaphwoth her. She did and the diaphragm was purple. The nurse asked her why it was purple and she replied, "When the doctors office gave it to me they told me to use "jelly" with it so I went to the grocery and bought some grape." Now, think of that the next time you spread it on your garlic toast.
Have a nice day.

A hard-cooked egg (or two) between two slices of white bread. ......with whatever jelly/jam we had.......was the first thing I learned to "cook" for myself......been eating jelly (usually grape) on "breakfast samiches" ever since. :idea:

Oprah Winfrey? :lol:

We had green Concord grapes on the property where I grew up. Dad would make green grape jelly and it was fantastic. Kids at school would trade me an entire hot lunch for one of my green grape jelly and peanut butter sandwiches. 8)

My wife has a slow cooker recipe for keilbasa. Supposed to use currant jelly. When she can't find currant jelly, she uses grape.

Doug's post reminded me of something we did as kids. If you gross out easily STOP HERE.






We had grapes. I thought they were just regular concord grapes, but maybe there is a difference. Dark purple skins, but bright green inside and VERY juicy. We would pop a grape in our mouth and remove the skin. Followed quickly by a fake sneeze into our hands. Open up your hand and show whoever was nearby how gross it was and then lick it off our hand.

Hahahaha! That sounds very familiar. I'm sure we did that too!

My mother used to make it when I was a kid. I remember the big pot on the stove and her stirring it. Then we’d end up with a bunch of jars full of grape jelly with wax on top sealing them. I don’t think they needed to be refrigerated until they were opened.

My mother did the same. That was good jelly. Her pickles, however---we weren't nearly so fond of them, and they sat on the shelf and ate through the metal lids.

Hi...
I know of only one use for grape jelly...on wheat bread with creamy Jif peanut butter.
Perfect sandwich.
Any other use borders on heresy.

 

[JFB]

a pat of butter and a spoon of grape jelly mixed in with stiff grits.

large link, air dried, country sausage bust in in half, grape jelly rolled up in honey wheat bread.

I still do that when the birds don't get in the grape vines. I have no idea what kind of grapes they are, Dad's great grandmother brought them from Ohio from starts that her grandmother brought from France. All I know is I have to hide what I intend to keep over the winter. I've seen Dave eat it out of the jar all by itself.

I got it at Wally World, not a restaurant, and it was Welch's, which is the kind I loved as a kid.

Not any more.
