Leafing through one of Jamie Oliver’s cookbooks a while back, I saw frozen grapes. Oh. Just perfect Jamie. Bring my world crashing down? Turns out, I’m okay. Did not affect my life in any way except for some good grape eating times.
The consistency of frozen grapes is in the ballpark of a nice sorbet. I find the best grapes to freeze are Muscat and Concord grapes when they’re in season as they both have a nice balance of sweet and tart. The size is also perfect*. They will however most likely have seeds in them.
This is a really nice easy dessert served along with some dark chocolate and good cheese. I like to rinse the grapes off before I put them in the freezer so they have a bit of ice on them. Put them in the freezer for 3 hours or so before you want to eat them.
* As a side note, I’m going to complain. When the f**k did grapes get so big? What happened? Look at these grapes we got the other day! I was full after like 4 grapes. Everyone likes a plump fruit, but I shouldn’t need a knife and fork to get through a grape. I give it a year before I’m posting about some carrot I took down with a tree trimmer.

Frozen grapes….who knew…sounds positively rather sensual…and simplistically inventive….perhaps with a good wedge of OKA cheese..
air kisses to both of you in NYC xoxo
