One thought on “Grapes”

1. Grapes in grape liqueur

   Verdict in a couple of months!
   Ingredients:

   850 g grapes, any sort
   1 litre vodka
   1 tsp sugar

   Use a 2-litre wide-mouthed preserving jar. Sterilise it by washing and draining it, then put it in an oven at 110C for 10 minutes. Wash the grapes, remove from the stems and dry with a clean tea towel or kitchen paper. Drop into the jar, filling close to the top. Sprinkle over the sugar, pour in the vodka to cover, and seal.

   That’s it! Leave in a cool dark place for six weeks, turning the jar occasionally. Serve after dinner in small glasses (a few grapes with a little liqueur spooned over). Keeps for up to a year
