This grape catchup sounded very interesting to me. I haven't made it yet, but when I was at a local library booksale I happened to see The New York Times Heritage Cookbook and had to pick it up. How could I pass it up for $1 with recipes like this in it? Thanks for the recipe and the chance to explore a great cookbook.

Thank you so much - I have so many grapes that I always like finding old/new things to do with them. I too, wish I would have read #17 Mary's advice on how to de-seed. I picked plums yesterday and that is always the way I de-pit so duh...boo me. Anyhow I added plums to 2 of the pints, for a little added pucker. My plan is to take the above suggestions of basting on a chicken breast, using as the sauce for pulled pork, adding virgin olive for a grape vinagrette on spinach leaves and also drizzles to a shrimp stirfry w/chinese peas and slivered almonds, a dip for egg rolls, and I'm thinking slow cooked over a pork roast. Okay...now I'm getting on the treadmill before those thoughts make a balloon outta me. Just finished making 10 pints w/my concords.

I used #17 Mary's technique on the "wild" (abandoned) concord grapes I picked. Unfortunately, my plans were derailed when I chewed up my cellphone in the garbage disposal (freak accident). Midnight and rattled is not a good time to fire up the boiling water canner, so I dumped the whole thing in a slow cooker and went to bed. The sauce lost its pretty purple overnight, but it is thick, and has a nice complex and rich, almost carmelized flavor. I'll put it in jars, and make another batch this weekend per recipe to compare.

I finally put a pint of it to use yesterday at my daughters first birthday. For one of the dishes we deep fried a turkey, and made pulled turkey sandwiches, half with a traditional bbq sauce with a ketchup/bourbon base, and half with the grape catchup. It was absolutely delicious, on a sandwich with coleslaw, a very unique taste. Got me thinking that a cranberry catchup recipe might also be nice. Thanks for posting this!
