what can i do with a bagful of grapes?

jorichste

its grape season and I've been given 2 large carrier bagfuls, one small seedless green grapes and one bag of big fat juicy purple ones with seeds. we've eaten soooo many, but they will go bad soon. I know i can freeze them and eat frozen, but are they ok if defrosted? Is there anything else i can do with them?

You could roast them and have with pork or duck or something as a vegetable.In the olden days (!) we used to deseed them with a "Kirby" hairgrip just for this purpose. Don't remember many seedless grapes being around in the seventies........!

We eat them frozen (we don't defrost them) , it's a great snack for kids, especially on a hot day!

yes, still frozen are lovely especially if you drop them into a jug of fruit juice as 'ice cubes' to chill the juice with.I like a large jug of orange and pineapple juice in the summer with some frozen white grapes into chill.
Also mixed fruit juice with chopped mint is delicious and refreshing on a really hot day. Tomato juice is especially nice with tiny bits of chopped mint and ice cubes

Hi

Last Q for now and then can hopefully answer some posts in return. I have some grapes going a bit brown and horrible but not mouldy yet! I want to try and use them but unappetising in their current state. Thought of putting some in with jelly for the kids, any other ideas as I have a big bunch?

TIA

I often freeze grapes, if I got aload and no-one seems to be eating them.
You could juice them.

You can also suck them once they're frozen - good for weightloss/sore throats or just picks in front of the TV!

Yes frozen grapes also are great to put in drinks at partys

Smoothie?

My son made one at school in 'food tech' or as I like to call it 'cookery':rolleyes: it had 1 banana, 1 kiwi and a handful of grapes plus some apple juice. was a revolting colour by the time it got home, but he enjoyed it;)
