A heritage American grape prized for its rich color and distinctive, old-fashioned grape flavor. The skins are dark and flavorful, and the grapes contain seeds, as is typical of many older grape varieties. Ives grapes are deep purple to nearly black, with a juicy, pleasantly sweet taste and a fragrant Concord-like character. Their bold flavor makes them delicious for snacking fresh, while also lending itself beautifully to homemade juice, jelly, jam, and other preserves.
