Quilted grape shot was named for its resemblance to a cluster of grapes. It consisted of multiple lead shots bound in a canvas bag and arranged around a wooden spindle. When it was fired, the unit broke open, spraying the shot amidst the enemy's rigging and crew.

OBS

The terms "quilted shot", "quilted grape", and "quilted grape shot" all derive from clustering the shot by means of binding it all together with fabric and twine.

CONT

The Concord grape originated in 1854 and was discovered by E. W. Bull. The berries have a heavy wax bloom with blue skin and pale green flesh. Berry and bunch size is medium with a somewhat compact conical cluster shape. The Concord's skin is reasonably durable and separates easily from its pulpy flesh. Its primary use is for juice and jam/jelly preserves, and for fresh market consumption. Many years ago, the Concord was used in port wines but that is no longer acceptable for premium wine production in Ontario.

Les canneberges sont l'un des quelques petits fruits indigènes d'Amérique du Nord. Le bleuet (myrtille) et le raisin Concord partagent également cet honneur.
