Related: About this forumHas anyone ever heard of a recipe for grapes, with sugar, in the oven? I heard about
it as a teen and always wanted to try it but never did.

I've heard it for the first time today.

Very light and refreshing!

(29,098 posts)The jelly glaze just makes things beautiful and shiny. I've never found it to be overly sweet. I think the little bit of Cassis or Grappa I usually add tempers the sugar a bit.
It's always a show stopper when it comes to the table. I got the recipe out of one of those food magazines years ago but now for the life of me I can't find a picture.

(2,351 posts)Grape clusters dipped in beaten egg whites, then sugar, then baked until the sugar crusted. Tasty, but I forgot all about them until you mentioned it.
Here's a link to some pics.

(20,277 posts)My stepmom called them 'frosted grapes' . I can't recall if she baked them or not. They looked like they had a coating of sparkley ice on them.
Maybe it's not the same thing...I don't know.

Strictly ornamental. I had a decorative scale that I put them in, for a centerpiece. Not for eating.

(16,038 posts)pie and cobbler. The concord's had a deeper flavor and better cooked texture than red or green table grapes. She also used Italian plums this way..the flavor was similar.
Her recipe is similar to this one..
