Video: As far as plant parts go, grapes are the closest thing you can get to lollies. But too-ripe fruit is significantly less fun and, once grapes start to mush out, I am much less inclined to eat them. Luckily, with just a little butter, and a little roasting, you can transform mushy, sad grapes into a jammy, sweet spread that is perfectly at home on a fancy cheese plate.
Grapes are great, but I like 'em fresh and firm. The moment they start to mush out, I lose interest, and let them languish in my crisper until they're "bad enough" to toss. This terrible cycle has since been broken, however, as I have discovered roasted grapes.
When it comes to wine, most people have a favourite grape or bottle, and it can be intimidating to stray from what you know. If you want to branch out, but are afraid of wasting money on something you won't enjoy, consider shopping by importer.
