Kudzu Blossom Jelly

[nevermorelenore]

Thanks for the video. I have been wanting to try this for years. I noticed our blossoms are out now. Wish me luck!

@nevermorelenore hope it turned out well. here in our area the kudzu bugs have taken over and unfortunately, I can't make the jelly again til they are gone.

[ivejustbegun01]

Cool. I'm gonna try this someday. But I don't find much Kudzu here in LA.

This is awesome...have you heard of my friend Jim aka Kaptain Kudzu...he lives in Georgia!

[dwljk]

no, but going to check him out now! will be making more of this soon since it's blooming again

[friendlier]

Boy, you could make a million bucks in Georgia!

Very curious what the finished product tastes like.

And the background music was great, too.

[dwljk]

lol I wish! hope to make some more this year - if I do, look for the video and I'll send you some!

[destroyahdes]

Thank you for the recipe. If I visit Georgia in the summer again I'll have to try this. Definitely want to try this. Faves.

[dwljk]

hopefully when they bloom again this year I'll be able to make alot more and share!

thanks for watching!

[wontonsoup4life]

Wow, really cool! I want some!

[dwljk]

I wish I had some to give out, but it's all gone! I'll make more this summer - just look for the video!

[skayc1]

This looks cool, where do you find the kudzu blossoms?

[dwljk]

my neighbor has some kudzu that grows beside her house. As I walked the dogs by them everyday I would smell them - such a wonderful smell too. Supposely they don't bloom every year. So I hit the jackpot this year!

[skayc1]

it looks like it would taste great

[dreamer72fem]

I had to come here to see this since beth was talking about it. It looks interesting. Never heard of it ever. Looks yummy. I am such a jelly girl...toast no butter and just jelly. MMmmm.

[dwljk]

Can't wait for you to try it! I was already planning on sticking it in with some other stuff I was sending you!

[dreamer72fem]

I shall have to taste for the first time on one of my blogs and tell ya what I think.

[foreverlonging]

You have like the most soothing voice I've heard in quite some time... be my mommy pls? lol

[dwljk]

lol - you're not the first person to say that about my voice - so interesting.

[silverscreamgrl]

Awesome!! So...this is kudzu jelly! So ... what does it taste like? Have you ever tried making sugar free? With stuff like Splenda replacement. Hmm I wonder if you can do jelly with that stuff. Neato.

[dwljk]

Yea, you could, but the funny thing is, my son and I are allergic to artifical sweetners. We could make some special next time with it, but we can't eat it. It kinda taste like grape jelly, but with a different flavor..so to speak. pm me and I'll send you some!

[RaggedyAnn43]

Oh, I missed where you said it took a couple of hours. Sorry! lol

[dwljk]

no problem! I don't think about the snake thing. I guess I should. I've seen some in our own backyard, but I seem to worry more about tics than snakes. I had never noticed the blossoms either til I tried the jelly from a friend. Then I kept my eye out! thanks for watching

[RaggedyAnn43]

That looks really good. I've heard of this jelly before. I've actually never noticed blossoms on kudzu before. I'll be looking more closely now. lol How long did it take you and your neighbor to pick 8 cups of blossoms? I would have been terrified of running into a snake. Did the thought of that bother you? I think I ask too many questions! lol Nice video and great instruction!

[dwljk]

my neighbor who helped me pick thought I was crazy til I gave her some today. She liked it!

[johnbrouwer1]

I would love to try it!

[dwljk]

pm me and I'll send some!

[lemonette]

As long as I have been in the South, the only thing I have ever done with kudzu is CUSS it! I am game to try it, though!

[dwljk]

if you want, pm me and I'll send you some to try.

[dwljk]

p.s. you can use any part of the kudzu plant as food, the web site said from which I got the recipe from. I don't think I'm that adventurous, but I had the jelly before.

[TJsMomma]

When I lived in South Carolina I had this Jelly before and it is YUMMY! Here in Michigan we can not make it cause we dont have any Kudzu. I need to get a southern friend to make me some and send it to me. SMILES HUGS to you xoxo

[dwljk]

pm me - I got your jar.

[TJsMomma]
