GRAPES WITH LEMON-HONEY YOGURT
We like to sweeten up Greek yogurt with honey, cinnamon and vanilla. It's a tasty counterpoint to plump grapes and crunchy nuts. -Julie Sterchi, Campbellsville, Kentucky

ROASTED GRAPES WITH CARAMELIZED WINE AND YOGURT ICE CREAM
In this recipe, grapes take on a floral, caramelized flavor from fresh thyme and honey. If your thyme is woody, discard the stems and just use the leaves. If you don't have an ice cream machine, the ice cream mixture can be placed directly in the freezer without churning. It won't be quite as creamy and smooth, but quite good enough. You will get more ice cream than you need for serving with the grapes, but eating the leftovers is no hardship.

Steps:
- At least 1 day before you plan to serve, make the ice cream: In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup/200 milliliters of water over medium-high heat. Heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Add the orange and lemon zests, remove from the heat and set aside to cool down and infuse for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl or pitcher, combine the yogurt, cream, orange and lemon juices. Pour in the sugar syrup, discarding the strips of zest. Stir well to combine, pour through a fine sieve and refrigerate until very cold, at least 4 hours.
- Pour mixture into an ice cream machine and churn until the ice cream is set. Transfer to a container and freeze until solid. (Can be prepared up to this point up to 1 month in advance.)
- On the day of serving, prepare the grapes: Heat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit/240 degrees Celsius. In a medium bowl, combine grapes, muscat, honey, thyme, brown sugar and lemon zest, and stir well. Pour into a high-sided 9-by-13-inch/20-by-25-centimeter baking dish and bake for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring a few times, until the grapes have caramelized and the liquid is syrupy.
- If the juices don't thicken, pour them into a saucepan (reserve the cooked grapes separately) and reduce over medium heat until syrupy and beginning to caramelize. Turn off the heat and immediately stir the grapes back into the sauce.
- Five minutes before serving, remove ice cream from the freezer and divide between serving bowls. Spoon grapes and sauce over the ice cream and serve at once.

GRAPES WITH YOGURT SAUCE
Steps:
- Puree banana with yogurt and season with some superfine sugar and a dash of rum. Spoon into the bottom of wine glasses and spoon grapes over the top; garnish with mint or pistachios.
Tips:
- To select the best grapes for this recipe, look for firm and plump grapes with no signs of bruising or decay.
- If you don't have honey on hand, you can substitute another liquid sweetener, such as maple syrup or agave nectar.
- For a tangier flavor, use more lemon juice. For a sweeter flavor, use less lemon juice and more honey.
- If you're using Greek yogurt, be sure to strain it before using to remove excess whey.
- To make the recipe ahead of time, simply combine the grapes, lemon juice, honey, and yogurt in a covered container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

This refreshing and healthy snack is a great way to enjoy the delicious flavors of grapes, lemon, honey, and yogurt. It's also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Enjoy it as a snack, breakfast, or dessert.
