Grapes are most commonly eaten fresh, they are an interesting and refreshing addition to cheese platters, fruit salads, or set in jelly. Try in savoury salads such as waldorf, coleslaw or chicken salad. Use to decorate cakes, Pavlovas, cheesecakes and fruit flans. Chocolate coated or frosted grapes, or grapes marinated in brandy or Grand Marnier is ideal for that special dinner party.
During our hot summer weather, try freezing small bunches and eating them frozen like miniature iceblocks - you’ll find it very refreshing. Grapes can also be used in cooked desserts such as a grape brulee` or in a bread and butter pudding.
