Mix up your backyard menu with grape jelly for birds. Fruit-eating orioles, catbirds and tanagers love to eat jelly as a sweet treat.

Recipe: Concord Grape Jelly In the summer of 2010, I worked at Pies ‘n’ Thighs, a Brooklyn restaurant focused on classic Southern comfort foods.

Sealed and canned in glass jars, this jelly will last for up to a year when stored in a cool, dry place. Without canning, it will keep in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 3 months.
