How to Freeze Muscadine (5 Steps)
Muscadine grapes thrive in the southern United States, where they grow both wild and cultivated. The small purple grapes have an extremely sweet flavor, though the skins are tough and tart. Canning the grapes in jams and jellies are the typical ways to preserve muscadines, but freezing the grapes whole allows you to enjoy them in salads and other uses. The freezing process does little to affect the texture or flavor of the juicy grapes, so you can enjoy them year-round.
