{SPEAKER name="Peggy Miller"}
--means month of May and then swamps, sweet swamp.
{SPEAKER name="J. L. Harris"} [Jimmie Lee Harris]
Ohhhh.
{SPEAKER name="Peggy Miller"}
Uh it does. I didn't know that until one of the librarians there in Sylvester told me that.
[00:19:52]
{SPEAKER name="J. L. Harris"}
Uh-huh, so you go out and gather the Mayhaws?
{SPEAKER name="Peggy Miller"}
Yes we do, and you have to wear boots, and then we go out and have a sifter, and then sift them out of the water, we shake the trees, the men do, the boys, and then we gather it with a sifter.
[00:20:05]
{SPEAKER name="J. L. Harris"}
Oh, so it's really, I mean, a real swamp, a real swampy area then.
[00:20:10]
{SPEAKER name="Peggy Miller"}
That's right and the apples are kinda bittersweet. They're real tarty but they're little, they're very small.
[00:20:19]
{SPEAKER name="J. L. Harris"}
Do you make anything else outta them besides the Mayhaw jelly?
{SPEAKER name="Peggy Miller"}
No, that's all. And you can cook the jelly, I mean the Mayhaws about three times.
[00:20:28]
{SPEAKER name="J. L. Harris"}
Oh, you do.
{SPEAKER name="Peggy Miller"}
You take a gallon, yes, of berries, and you can get about three-- uh you get six pints out of each cooking.
[00:20:37]
{SPEAKER name="J. L. Harris"}
And you call them berries or are they like little crab apples?
{SPEAKER name="Peggy Miller"}
[[overlapping]] They're apples,they're crab-- but we call them berries.
[00:20:43]
{SPEAKER name="J. L. Harris"}
But you do call them berries, I see, I see.
{SPEAKER name="Peggy Miller"}
Mayhaw berries. Uhh huh-
[00:20:46]
{SPEAKER name="J. L. Harris"}
What other kind? Any other kind of jelly you can think of? What about hot pepper jelly?
[00:20:52]
{SPEAKER name="Peggy Miller"}
Oh, now hot pepper jelly that's one of the southern, and I understand they have it up in South Carolina and some other places too. But I've never known it thus far and so we make that down there. Quite--
[00:21:10]
{SPEAKER name="J. L. Harris"}
And tell us how you make it. It's used as a relish. It's not really a jelly like Mayhaw jelly is.
[00:21:16]
{SPEAKER name="Peggy Miller"}
No, no this is uh kinda um hot jelly, it's a mild hot jelly. And it's with green peppers and banana peppers - that's the yellow long pepper - and hot peppers. And you use most of the green pepper, the bell pepper is what they call the green pepper, and then they use about 5 or 6 of the hot pepper and you have to take the seeds outta each one of these. If you don't it really will be hot, and you cook that and you put some Sure Jell or some kind of pectin--
