SWEET PICKLED GRAPES
Wow! What can I say? Some of us love them, and others aren't so sure! Personally, I love them - in fact, I find them very hard to resist. They make a refreshingly different accompaniment to cheese or cold meat. By the way, I have used fructose in place of the sugar, with no noticeable difference in the end result. And most recently, I used a vanilla pod instead of the cinnamon stick, squeezing the seeds into the liquid before adding it to the grapes. The original recipe came from David Scott's "Middle Eastern Vegetarian Cookery", but I have doubled the quantity of spices because I like it that way - please half the cinnamon and cloves if you think you would prefer a milder version. Posted in the hope of joining the North African and Middle Eastern Zaar Tag game :-)

PICKLED GRAPES
Steps:
- Mix the vinegar, sugars, coriander, cinnamon and cloves together in a saucepan. Boil over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the ginger and jalapenos. Add the grapes and allow to sit at least 1 hour or preferably, overnight. Use the grapes in your next chicken or fruit salad.
Tips:
- Choose firm, ripe grapes for pickling. Unripe grapes will not have the same flavor and texture, and overripe grapes may become too soft and mushy.
- Use a variety of grape colors and flavors to create a visually appealing and flavorful pickle. Some popular varieties for pickling include Concord, Niagara, and Thompson Seedless.
- Make sure to sterilize your jars and lids before using them. This will help to prevent the growth of bacteria and ensure that your pickled grapes are safe to eat.
- Use a clean spoon or fork to remove the grapes from the jar. Do not use your fingers, as this could introduce bacteria into the pickle.
- Store pickled grapes in a cool, dark place. They will keep for several months, but it is best to consume them within a year.
Conclusion:
Pickled grapes are a delicious and versatile snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed year-round. With a variety of flavors and colors to choose from, pickled grapes are a great way to add a touch of sweetness and tang to your next meal.
