Look what we found at the General Store - Moonshine

Smack in the middle of the Dahlonega town square is the Dahlonega General Store. Here you can purchase a cup of coffee for a nickel, sample fresh roasted peanuts, and shop for everything from Confederate money to Vidalia barbecue sauce.

On a recent trip to the General Store, we found moonshine in a Mason jar. Instead of the illegal white lightening, homemade whiskey, the jar was filled with Moonshine jelly. The clear, almost translucent, jelly - while it looked like Moonshine in a bottle – was actually a type of apple jelly without any alcohol.

Moonshine jelly – what a perfect gift from North Georgia, especially when paired with a couple of jars of homemade pickles and Georgia Peach jam. 

Don’t just take our word for it. Come to Dahlonega’s General Store to buy your own jar of Moonshine jelly or buy a jar online. Better yet, here's a recipe if you want make your own. This recipe uses white wine (not Moonshine) for an EXTRA kick.
