Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds seedless Red Flame grapes, stems removed (approximately 4 cups)
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon shredded mint leaves
1 tablespoon Cognac or other brandy (optional)
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

Place grapes, vinegar and water in a stainless-steel saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook gently for about 5 minutes. The grapes will lose their red color and begin to crack open.
Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the lemon rind, lemon juice, honey and mint leaves. When grapes are cooked, add them to lemon-honey mixture and stir well. When cool, add the Cognac. Serve in wine glasses, garnished with a spoonful of sour cream.
