The idea is based on the old-fashioned progressive dinner party, in which you’d eat each course at a different guest’s home. Each blogger is bringing one or more dishes to the party on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of this week, so be sure to stop by each one and get some ideas for your own Thanksgiving meal. Today’s Courses include cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and soup.
Ingredients:
Brandy
Grapes (Seedless)
Sugar
Cubed Cheddar Cheese
Directions:
- Soak grapes (fully submerged) in brandy for at least 6-8 hours.
- Take grapes out of liquid and roll liberally in sugar to coat.
- Once the grape is sugared, place on a skewer or fancy toothpick and place one cheese cube on the bottom so it can stand up.
Tips:
- Make sure you use good quality (drinking) brandy.
- The longer you soak the grapes the more alcohol they will absorb. Try not to soak longer than 24 hours.
- These are a great make ahead item. Just wrap them in plastic wrap and pop in the fridge.
