10.2K Every summer the Ekstrom’s make homemade wild plum and mustang grape jelly.
As Texas cattle ranchers, going back at least five generations, we do it the old fashioned way.

WOW; I am impressed!!
Sounds delicious………………..
My grandmother taught me years ago about the secret deliciousness of wild plums & mustang grapes. We always put some of the plum pits back in the jelly, my grandfather said it added more flavor.
Great idea! I bet it keeps the “tang” going! (which is the best part of wild plum and mustang grape jelly!)
Did you make the popover they look familiar !! Jelly looks yummy
Good eyes my friend! Yes, that is a Neiman Marcus Popover! I will be posting the recipe and pictures soon!
Yummmmmm let’s make some the next time I visit!!!
Sure!!!
This looks so delicious that I can’t even stand it. I love homemade jelly and would love to make some, but I don’t have any of the necessary equipment or even the fruit. If I even get around to it, though, I might have to hit up this recipe. Mmmmmm
*ever. That last “even” is supposed to be “ever.” Now I’m typing the same way I write by hand. My lowercase “r” looks like an “n” half the time. Derp.
I had an aunt in Miss who used to make wild plum jelly which I absolutely loved. I have never been able to get the recipe, but this should be close. I just need to find some wild plums and I will be in heaven. Thanks for posting this.
I’m so glad! Good luck finding the wild plums! (I’ve seen the for sale at farmers markets!)
