Sweet-hot holiday grapes

16 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1¾ cup Red Flame seedless grapes
1¾ cup Green seedless grapes
1 cup Sugar
⅔ cup Cider vinegar
1 cup Water
4 larges Jalapenos; seeded and quartered

Directions

Last night I had a class with food scientist/writer Shirley Corriher.

Thought ya'll might be interested in one of the appetizers... it wasn't very hot, so I would increase the peppers. Quite a surprise on the ol' holiday buffet, or ringing the bird! Remove from their stems 1¾ Cups each red flame and green seedless grapes; rinse and place in medium bowl. (Will be approx. 1 ½ pounds of grapes.)

Simmer in medium saucepan over low heat for 10 minutes: 1 Cup sugar, ⅔ Cup cider vinegar, 1 Cup water and 4 large jalapenos that have been seeded and quartered.

Pour mixture over grapes. (Add a little water if necessary so grapes are completely covered.) Cover with plastic wrap and marinate at room temperature overnight. Serve cold or at room temperature. Keeps refrigerated 5-6 days.

I noticed that the green grapes are slightly discolored at the end b/c of the vinegar, but it's not bad. Might arrange so you don't see it, or just use red ones...
