Yes, I have. I got those grapes from my best friend. She harvested them from her yard. It is one week now in the fridge but I still have half of what my friend has given me. Other than eating them normally washed, I don´t know what to do with them. Hubby doesn´t like to eat them. I can´t eat many of them as well as I will be having plenty of sounds in my tummy. Besides that, I will be drunk eating plenty of them Do you think I can make a cake out of these grapes? Do you have any idea? Thanks for reading. My Sunday was fine and I did 2 hours of Zumba with my friend. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

I chop them into chicken salad. I guess you could boil them and make a jelly or a compote.

That is a good idea @BelleStarr. I will try to make a jelly or a compote. I have to check a recipe online. Thank you.

@eileenleyva I think you can imagine today how I share with you my grapes clafoutis, a French dessert I bake from those grapes that I have in this post. Very delicious. Enjoy your Tuesday.

Saturday and Sunday they harvested grapes here. We have vineyards around us and a winery at 3 minutes walk from home. They gave me a few grapes, I am going to make "grapes clafoutis". You should try, it's an easy cake to make but very good.

@thelme55 Clafoutis is a quick and easy cake and you can use almost any kind of fruits.

@LadyDuck Yes, it is easy and quick to make as I have made it last night. I will try to make cherry clafoutis next time. Thanks for the idea. It was really yummy.

Two hours of Zumba? I can't believe it. You must have crawled home on all fours. --- You can make a cake. Here is a recipe. It's very good. You can send me a piece! :-)

@MALUSE, when I read the link I remember that I have made this grapes cake before when I was working in the cafeteria ages ago. I remember too how yummy it was.

Grapes from the freezer make a nice treat. Maybe you can try that.

I've been on a grape kick since they've been so sweet this season. I just eat them like candy

Grapes won't make you drunk too many might hurt your timing or make your need to use the bathroom though.

2 hours of Zumba... That sounds an intense workout day. When it's season here, I buy a kilo on every alternate day. Everyone in my family loves grape . In fact all fruits. No fruit goes waste here.How about making jelly or bread spread. YouTube can be of help.

Wow! These grapes look beautiful! Store-bought grapes can never compare to home-grown grapes. They are so much more flavorful and delicious!

You could freeze them and eat them slowly or add them to water or other friends or even blend them with some other fruit and make a smoothie

We love grapes, especially red and white seedless ones. A friend freezes them and uses them for a snack. I've used then in making chicken dishes.

You could make grape jam but some people don't like all the seeds. Perhaps you could strain them out. I've never heard of being able to make a cake from them.

I have never heard of a grape cake but why not experiment with it?
