    Where can I buy mayhaw berries?

    I usually pick them off my deer lease every year. This years crop is not a very big one. I was hoping someone on here knows a place I can just buy some to make jelly with. Preferably 59 area Humble to Livingston. That is unless someone will ship them.

        There use to be a place near me called Jackson fruit farm. They sold them there for many years. The man that owned it passed away and the business closed. I was hoping someone else knew of a place.

          We used to get berries from Mr. Jackson. He had the best and it’s a shame his kids shut it down. I had a few gallons in the freezer and hopefully my supplier has few gallons this year. We did get 4 from my mothers trees.

            My grandma and her family always called them grapes in the Big Thicket where they grew wild.

              That’s what I’ve always heard them called. I thought there was some new berries out there for a moment.

                  Grapes grow on a vine. Mayhaws on a tree in water

                    I believe that little fresh fruit/veggie stand in Corrigan right there on 59 past the Brookshire brothers sells them? Not sure though. I know they have the jelly.

                        I hope to go to my lease tomorrow and pick up enough to make some jelly. They aren't as many as I seen in the past.
                        Does anyone have a good recipe? I've never made Mayhaw jelly and need a quarantine project.

                          You might search the internet, if you have not already. I never heard of mayhaw berries, so I looked them up, think my mother's aunt used to have one of those trees in her yard. But in the process of trying to figure out what they are, a map popped up with multiple places listing them, including HEB. But I checked on HEB's site, they don't have them, I guess because of the word berries, it listed HEB.

                          So what are those things like or similar to?

                            I’d have to charge $275 a gallon after spending the day on my hands and knees.
                            I did pick up 3 gallons in the past couple days. I have 6 mayhaw trees but they’re not putting off yet

                              Muscadine and mayhaws are exactly the same but different.
