SWEET PICKLED GRAPES



Sweet Pickled Grapes image

Wow! What can I say? Some of us love them, and others aren't so sure! Personally, I love them - in fact, I find them very hard to resist. They make a refreshingly different accompaniment to cheese or cold meat. By the way, I have used fructose in place of the sugar, with no noticeable difference in the end result. And most recently, I used a vanilla pod instead of the cinnamon stick, squeezing the seeds into the liquid before adding it to the grapes. The original recipe came from David Scott's "Middle Eastern Vegetarian Cookery", but I have doubled the quantity of spices because I like it that way - please half the cinnamon and cloves if you think you would prefer a milder version. Posted in the hope of joining the North African and Middle Eastern Zaar Tag game :-)

PICKLED GRAPES



Pickled Grapes image

We had pickled grapes as part of an appetizer that was served at Teatro ZinZanni. These ones don't taste exactly the same as the ones chef Tom Douglas served there, but they're a tasty addition to a cheese or charcuterie plate. They taste similar to a sweet pickle, only better. I like to mix red and green seedless grapes, but you can use one or the other. I also use Splenda, but feel free to use granulated sugar if you desire. This recipe is adapted from one I found on NPR, which in turn was adapted from a recipe from Seattle's Boat Street Cafe. They are ready to eat after about 8hrs in the brine.

Provided by TigerJo

Categories     Fruit

Time 10h15m

Yield 3 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb seedless grapes (red or green, or a combination)
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup Splenda granular (sugar substitute)
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon coriander seed
1 teaspoon peppercorn
2 1/2 inches cinnamon sticks
2 allspice berries
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Rinse & dry grapes, and carefully remove all stems. Using a sharp paring knife, trim away the stem end of the grape (or 'belly button'). Put the grapes into a medium bowl, and set aside (I like to use a 1qt glass Pyrex measuring cup).
  • In a medium saucepan, combine remaining ingredients, except for the Splenda (but if you're using sugar, add it now). Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. If using Splenda, remove from heat and add it now, stirring until dissolved. Pour mixture over the grapes; stir to combine. Cover, and set aside to cool at room temperature.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (or pour grapes & brine into jars with tight fitting lids); chill at least 8hrs or overnight. Serve cold.

PICKLED GRAPES WITH JICAMA AND CELERY SEED



Pickled Grapes with Jicama and Celery Seed image

We love this combination for its appearance and textural contrasts as well as for its flavors. The crunchy texture of the jicama is perfect next to the grapes; it also can provide a pleasant surprise to those who don't know exactly what's in this pickle. The cream-colored chunks quickly take on some yellow color from the turmeric, so people think they're about to bite into a piece of pineapple, and then they get that great jicama crunch. Serve this pickle with anything spicy, especially chicken or fish. It is very nice with curries and spicy Asian-style stews, too.

4 cups mixed red and green seedless grapes
1 medium jicama, peeled and cut into cubes about 3/8-inch thick (about 2 cups)
