Beautiful on the table, refreshing side dish or light dessert, perfect for a brunch or wedding or baby shower. For years it has been a must-have tradition at our Thanksgiving dinner. May be served immediately, but best if refrigerated for a few hours or overnight.

Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup chopped pecans
⅓ cup white sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 pounds red seedless grapes

Steps:

  • Place pecans in a skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir until pecans are toasted and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a heatproof bowl; stir to prevent nuts from overcooking.
