The Christmas Rose variety
is fairly new, developed from four different varieties.
Its berries are large, dark red, and seeded with a
tart, sweet flavor. In the store, look for grape bunches
that are heavy and well colored with plump berries
well attached to the stems. The grapes you buy in the
store should be ripe and ready to eat; they will not
continue to ripen after they are picked from the vine.
Simply refrigerate your grapes without washing them.
Grapes should keep for about seven days in 30-40° F.
Once you're ready to enjoy your grapes, rinse with
cool water.
Taste
Tart, sweet flavor.
Uses
Deseed as needed. Drizzle with honey and enjoy with
a spoon; give your salad a tart kick by topping it
with grapes; use on fruit kabobs with low-fat vanilla
yogurt; or enjoy as a terrific, quick, fresh snack.
