This week in The Cafe, we celebrated "Muscadine Week," serving dishes and desserts featuring fresh muscadines and Muscadine Jelly, Sauce, and Preserves from our friends at Paulk Vineyards (also known as one of Our Makers: Paulk's Pride). We even served the delicious Muscadine Apple Pie again! If you've followed us for very long, you probably know that Jorjanne in particular has a special connection to muscadines, especially Paulk Vineyards and Paulk's Pride! If you don't remember, you can read her blog posts, "Muscadines, Grandma, & a Husband" or "Faithful in the Little Things" to see why they're so dear to her. When we were planning our specials for Muscadine Week, we tried to think of something to serve with a simple PB&J, using Paulk's Pride Muscadine Jelly, of course, and chips. Now, we've told you before how much we love a congealed or fruit salad here in the South. (You can read more about that in our blog post, Fluff or Frozen?) We looked for a Muscadine Fluff recipe, but couldn't find one anywhere. We just couldn't believe it! So what else could we do but create one of our own? After a few test batches, we finally decided on the perfect combination of sweet and creamy, cool and fluffy, with a little bit of crisp apples too! Since we used the Muscadine Sauce, we didn't need any other sugar or spices. It's a simple recipe, which makes it great to serve with just about anything. Take it to a potluck dinner or on a picnic, and impress folks with its sweet and savory flavor that makes a lovely transition from summer to fall. If you decide to make our Muscadine Fluff, we'd love to hear what you think about the recipe. Comment below, or share a picture on Facebook or Instagram.
