Muscadine Mood

Sheri is in a mood to share her joy of cooking with muscadines. These tangy and tasty native grapes showcase beautifully in Sheri’s broccoli pasta salad with muscadines in a delicate poppyseed dressing, while a savory skillet of roasted muscadines and sausage make for a delicious one-pan meal for everyone. Sheri pays a visit to the muscadine mother vine and bakes a muscadine and peanut pie.

Out and about on the beautiful Outer Banks of Roanoke Island, Sheri pays a visit to hear the history of the mother of all muscadine vines. The Mother Vine is thought to be the oldest native muscadine source on the east coast. Many believe the Lost Colonists brought it to the shores and planted the first vine. We hear from the current keeper of the vine about its storied history.

A savory skillet of roasted muscadines and sausages makes for a delicious one-pan meal that will make everyone at your table happy.

Pie is certainly love when Keia Mastrianni bakes a muscadine and peanut butter streusel pie with Sheri from the grapes they collect on Keia's backyard vine.

Sheri says a helpful hint to get those pesky seeds out of the muscadines for cooking at home.
