Just for fun -- I also don't like grape jelly. (Don't like jelly in general, though a light layer of my homemade prickly pear jelly on bread is delicious.) But, I've discovered that I have orioles hanging around. In an effort to keep them hanging around, I got an oriole feeder -- like a hummingbird feeder, but with bigger holes for drinking. I also read that they like grape jelly, so I got a hanging unit with a cup in it for holding jelly. And they're eating it, about 2 ounces a day. (Which may well go up; I'm told other birds also like it, but apparently they haven't found it yet.)
ANYway, so here I am, buying grape jelly -- the higher-end brands, because it can't contain fructose, which is bad for the birds -- and it's all, literally, going to the birds. But it's such a thrill to see them come, take a few bites, then fly off again. Yes, I get my excitement in small doses.
