This is not my recipe - I just changed the words 'wine sludge' to the more appetizing (and correct) 'wine must'. But it tells me this recipe needs a description for it to take the correction, so this is it. - evelyn/athens -- posted by MirandaLee

Diabetic Grape Nuts Bars

Sun, 15 Dec 2002 20:14:29 -0500

I made these for my Baci ("grandmother" in Polish) because she has to watch her blood sugar. Loving her with all my being makes me worry about her well-being. I decided to try this recipe (and another Oatmeal Bar recipe) and give her an alternative to eating baked goods for a "quick fix." She preferred the other recipe and recommends this recipe to those who like Grape Nuts. She says the bars reminded her of Grape Nuts pudding. -- posted by nomnom

The small town of Naples, New York, located at the Southern tip of Canandaigua Lake, is famous for its grape pies! This recipe is from Irene Bouchard, who is universally recognized as the mother of Naples' grape pies, if not their actual inventor!

Very elegant, but soooo easy. Very good light dessert after a substantial meal.

Grape Almond Bread Pudding

Sun, 29 Feb 2004 19:59:29 -0500

Its funny how I got this recipe. The other day, I was thinking to myself that this year for Valentine's day, I will make something other than a chocolate cake for my family. But the question was - Make what? This evening, I got a huge gift box from Auntie Nez(Chef Inez Willenborg on Zaar) and this recipe was crumpled up in a newspaper in her box! Normally, I would have thrown out the crumpled paper and kept her gifts. But something made me open the paper and I was thrilled to find this dessert in there! It looks wonderful to me. I'm sure it tastes great too, especially with all the topping of vanilla ice cream and maple syrup! YUM YUM YUM! This can be served warm or at room temperature or chilled, as desired. You can top it off with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream or drizzle with maple syrup and enjoy! Served anyway you like it, this dessert is bound to win you over! I hope you enjoy this!! -- posted by Charishma Ramchandani

Grape Cake

Tue, 21 Jun 2005 14:29:22 -0400

A different sort of cake. The batter is prepared and put in the pan and the grapes are distributed over top for baking. When I first saw this recipe I thought the grapes would either sink or burst and leak during the baking but they didnt! Make sure the grapes are well dried off before placing on the cake. Measure the flour carefully and be careful not to over bake or the cake can turn out to be a bit dry. A lovely and different cake to serve with tea or coffee. I found this originally in a 1974 issue of Gourmet magazine. Try serving it with a sifting of icing sugar over the top or a dollop of vanilla yogurt or lightly sweetened whipped cream. -- posted by teapotter

This is a wonderful dessert. A combination of fried summer berries (red currants, purple grapes) and sage leaves dipped into a tasty bay leaf sauce.

Together with the fruity flavors of the still warm berries and the wonderful taste of fried sage this makes a summerly dessert. -- posted by Thorsten

Grape & Yoghurt Bake

Tue, 14 Mar 2006 13:05:02 -0500

Delicious as they are raw, there are more ways of eating grapes than just plucked fresh from the vine. This fruit which is one of our oldest fruit crops (vine roots dating back to before the great ice age have been found in China) is high in dietary fibre, Vitamin A, C and potassium and contains antioxidants that cleanse the skin, liver, kidneys and bowels. So why wouldn't you want to also use grapes in cooked desserts? This delicious and quick to make dessert is from an April 2005 issue of 'Fresh Living'. As you'll see from the notes on variations below, this is a highly versatile recipe that really allows you to do your own thing with a basic idea. Hope that you enjoy it! -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Barossan Rote Grutze (Red Grape Sago Pudding)

Sat, 03 Jun 2006 06:46:33 -0400

(rota-gritz-ah) This is the stuff kids in the the Barossa Valley, in Australia, grow up on. The Silesian migrants brought the recipe when they settled the Valley however it was made with berries in their homeland. Usually served as dessert with cream, it can be eaten as breakfast during festivals. Preferred grapes are Shiraz or Mataro (Mouvedre). Please note: start with fresh grapes not juice - I had to do the recipe this way for Zaar. Hard to give exact measurements as depends on juiciness of grapes.

Black and White Grape Salad

Sun, 08 Oct 2006 22:51:16 -0400

I love black grapes. There weren't available until Super Wal-mart moved in. Rural areas just don't get "fancy" ingredients like a black grape. We're kinda stuck with seeded grapes with very little variety. Anyway, in a search for recipes to use these beautiful little gems, I found this one, but there is one similar using green grapes here at Zaar. I find this one especially good. I make it a habit of tasting a grape from the bunch before I buy to make sure they're sweet. -- posted by Redneck Epicurean

Christmas Pudding Balls (No-Bake Cookies)

Mon, 18 Dec 2006 17:49:36 -0500

This started out as a mediterranian classic, but I didn't have the right ingredients, so I wound up inventing these cuties with what I had on hand! They're quite good, especially if you let them sit for a few days. I'm thinking about substituting a cup of dates for one of the cups of raisins to give it a deeper flavor, but really anything works here! A note about ginger: If you're using the power found in the spice aisle, you'll want to use a bit more as it's known for being a smite underwhelming. Likewise, if you use dried ginger (like Chinese #1 cracked), you might want to use a bit less as it can be quite potent. As always, work according to taste, and use all your ingredients per their specific instructions! -- posted by tim_cat!

This is a different kind of dessert (and no cake). It is addictive as cheesecake is (for me). Can easily be made in advance and so easy to make. The goat cheese here is really something different. It adds a surprising flavour, which is balanced by the lime juice well. I suggest to use seedless grapes here, because you can leave them as they are. -- posted by Thorsten

This tart can be eaten warm or at room temperature. I have adapted this recipe from one I found in a March 2005 issue of Woolworth's 'Fresh' magazine. Serve with icecream, cream or Greek yoghurt.

24 Hour Fruit Salad

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 17:52:42 -0500

I looked but couldn't find a recipe on Zaar exactly like this one. It's a huge favorite with my family and is a must for every holiday dinner. It's best when refrigerated for 24 hours, but I've made it the same morning of the meal and it was still wonderful! -- posted by Katlinn

Prosecco and Summer Fruit Terrine

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:31:18 -0400

This is a visually stunning dessert. It is a light and refreshing alternative to ice cream for a summer dinner party. The terrine can be made up to 3 days in advance of service. Unmold just before serving. From the August 2002 issue of Gourmet Magazine. Cooking time is chilling time. -- posted by Chef Regina V. Smith

Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Cookies

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:04:00 -0400

This recipe has only four common ingredients, is easy to double or triple, and makes a good meal for those who are on a diet. Even better, it's vegan! In my opinion the cookies taste best right out of the oven, so don't hesitate to serve immediately. (; The ingredient measurements are estimates, since I make this without measuring anything but the oats. If they aren't sweet enough, add your sweetener of choice. -- posted by Qzxyntop

Sparkling White-Sangria Salad

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 17:05:31 -0500

This recipe is from Cooking Light. Delicious and fancy enough for the holidays. This recipe uses Riesling, but for a nonalcoholic version, substitute sparkling white grape juice. Make up to a day ahead and refrigerate. Dip the covered mold into a bowl of warm water for 5 seconds to make the salad easier to unmold. I like to use canned Mandarin oranges. -- posted by Jjampm

Haven't made yet -- but sounds like a very pretty and special holiday buffet recipe. Can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated (about 6 hours, but not much more than that). -- posted by *Kathy*
