My granddad was raised in Donalsonville, GA just a couple counties over from the annual Mayhaw Festival. A good friend travels to Donalsonville each year for a family reunion and I always beg her to bring back a jar. They claim to have the best jelly on earth, and I am here to tell you it is amazing.

You can eat it on everything from toast to hoecakes, but the best way is on a biscuit. Sadly, I do not have the biscuit making skills of my grandparents... I guess when I am there age I will have it down pat. Nathalie Dupree just came out with a new cookbook called Southern Biscuits which will hopefully give me a good start. Do you have a good biscuit recipe? What's your favorite kind of jam or jelly?
Call me crazy but the best biscuits I make are from the Bisquik mix. When I was in Australia I had my parents ship me a box so I could show the Aussie's what a real biscuit tastes like.
