This recipe was a lot of work for not a lot of payoff. The finished product was just okay.

The custard didn't set properly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I'll use less sugar.

I'm not a huge fan of custard, but I loved this recipe. The grapes really balanced out the sweetness of the custard.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover grapes. I had a bunch of grapes that were about to go bad and this recipe saved them!

I added a bit of cinnamon to the custard and it gave it a nice warm flavor.
