Gingered Cream Cheese Grapes Recipes

ROASTED GRAPES WITH GINGER AND MOSCATO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the Moscato, corn syrup, ginger and thyme. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture is reduced by 80 percent, forming a glaze, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Put the grapes in a pan, drizzle the glaze over the grapes (or lightly toss) and roast until the grapes have wilted but still retain their shape, 6 to 10 minutes.
• Serve with a cheese platter.

GINGERED CREAM CHEESE GRAPES

Steps:

• In a bowl cream together the cream cheese and the ginger. Put 1 teaspoon of the mixture in the palm of one hand and roll it around a grape, using both palms to coat the grape completely. Coat the remaining grapes in the same manner and on a wax-paper-lined tray chill them for 15 minutes. Roll the cheese-coated grapes in the pecans coating them completely, and chill them until the coating is firm.

COOKED GRAPES WITH CREAM

Steps:

• Place grapes, vinegar and water in a stainless-steel saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook gently for about 5 minutes. The grapes will lose their red color and begin to crack open.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the lemon rind, lemon juice, honey and mint leaves. When grapes are cooked, add them to lemon-honey mixture and stir well. When cool, add the Cognac. Serve in wine glasses, garnished with a spoonful of sour cream.

SPECIAL GRAPES

Steps:

• Beat heavy cream until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Gradually add the sweetener, continuing to beat until medium peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the whipped cream should curl over slightly. Beat in the yogurt, cream cheese, and almond and vanilla extracts until well mixed. Fold in the green and red grapes. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
