What's the best way to cook grapes?

[struggle4progress]

I've tried coating them in batter and deep-fat frying them; I've tried grilling in BBQ sauce; I've tried pureeing them with frozen carrots in buttermilk; but they're always inedible. :(

1. How about poached, served on an English muffin with hollandaise?

[struggle4progress]

2. I dunno. I don't want to get arrested for poaching.

:(

3. don't cook - just freeze and eat!

4. But jamming them on popsicle sticks smushes them. It's yucky.

:(

6. how about toothpicks?

[struggle4progress]

11. I've never tried cooking toothpicks. Do you marinate them?

[Iris]

14. Noooooooooo! Pick up the frozen grapes with them!

[struggle4progress]

15. I think the cheap toothpicks I get would break. Where do you get ..

.. good sturdy toothpicks?

[Iris]

18. just steal 'em from Long Horn Steakhouse, baby!

20. Like, just stick two or three between every pair of teeth?

24. sounds like a plan!

5. Oh. Yeah, that could be a problem.

In that case, you might just want to braise them, make a pan gravy, and serve it all with mashed potatoes.

17. I can solder but I haven't tried to braise or weld anything since ..

.. Mr. Reddy threw me out of shop glass after he accidently bumped into the electrode I was waving in the air in the air to make a really important point. I always thought he should have been more careful but it WAS a traumatic experience -- big spark, big yell, lots of grouchy grownups. So I think I will feel very unconformable trying to braise or weld grapes.

7. Why are you cooking grapes?

Are you trying to make jelly? Or did I miss a Lounge Joke weed? :-)

13. There's a Greatest Thread that said I could get responses here ..

. by posting a cooking thread. But, as you see, I'm no good at cooking. :(

:hi:

9. grapalate them

Melt a cup of grape jelly with a cup of grape juice/or sweet wine. Cook until reduced to a slightly thick syrup. Put seedless grapes of many colors in a cooked pie crust (I pile them high)---Pour the grape syrup over them .....Cool and you have a lovely grape pie.

22. This sounds great! Unfortunately, my roommates are all alcoholics,

so how many extra bottles of wine do you think I will need to be able to have enough left over after they pass out so I can still do the pie? Because otherwise I will just have a bunch of grapes in a cooked pie shell. :(

10. Start by putting this on

Now that your fur apron is on you're ready to cook. Plug in your fry daddy cause you'll need that later. Par boil your grapes in beer. Then coat them with an egg batter and dip them in some grape nuts cereal. Put them in your fryer till your smoke detector goes off. After taking the batteries out of your smoke detector remove from the fryer and serve and coat with pasta sauce. The jar stuff, not that home made garbage. Serve with chicken!

16. That does sound good. So I guess I have to get a fur apron.

21. Grape Nuts? Are you crazy? Who fries their grapes in Grape Nuts?

You gotta double-bread 'em in flour between the egg battering, and then coat 'em in blueberry muffin crumbs.

Good grief. EVERYONE knows that!

[struggle4progress]

23. Wow! You posted this in just barely time cause I was just headed out ...

.. to buy the fur apron. I guess that one I dare not try. :(

12. Contact a vineyard!
