Vynohrad

You cannot eat a cluster of grapes at once, but it is very easy if you eat them one by one.
Jacques Roumain


My parents are having a bumper crop of grapes this year so I brought some back yesterday and hope to make jelly today. I don't really know what I'm doing but am hopeful!

Wonderful variety of grape depictions...from the gorgeous (that magnificent quilt) to the silly (the fruit card). Too bad you couldn't include just how wondrous the smell is while standing under a big group of ripe clusters. :-)

Good luck with your jelly!
