Grapes are perhaps the most luscious summer produce that gives a solid competition to berries (fun fact: grapes are actually berries!) with its numerous varieties, different shades and delectable flavours. Not all grapes are made equal, similarly, their taste and texture vary depending on the composition and environmental effects.
Whether or not you are fond of grapes, it is hard to resist when you see them in the fruit basket. Coming in various shapes, sizes, textures and colours, grapes display the brightest hues of summer, making it a must-have addition to your platter. Check out what you can make with grapes this season to enjoy its flavours to the fullest.

Fruit salad is never complete without the addition of fresh grapes. Be it purple grapes, green, yellow and black, grapes add a pop of colour to the flavourful salad. However, make sure the grapes are seedless to make every bite luscious without seeds disturbing the feel.
2) Grape Popsicle
Mashing grapes up and creating a delicious popsicle blend then freezing it overnight to savour the next day might be the best summer treat for your tastebuds. Whether you like to enjoy it on the patio with your kids or want to take it as a dessert for outdoor camping, grape popsicles are amazing for any time.
3) Grapes and Cheese Skewers
Grapes and cheese is a match made in heaven! The luscious tart of grapes when combined with the creamy sour flavour of cheese becomes a rollercoaster ride. It is a perfect combination to serve as a brunch appetiser.

Just like with all the summer produce, grapes also taste wonderful after pickling. Not only does this help preserve them for a long, but it also enhances the overall flavours and infuses an amusing savouriness while making them tender.
5) Grape Tartlets
Delightful mini pastries with a buttery, flaky crust filled with creamy custard or almond frangipane are topped with juicy grapes to create a perfect balance of sweet and tart. Not only does it look appealing, it also tastes amazing with a refreshing flavour.
6) Grape Fritters
Americans do love deep-frying everything. Why leave grapes out of the selection? These deep-fried grapes are a delightful addition to your brunch menu and you get the choice of making it both sweet and savoury. When making savoury, make sure to add some cheese shreds on top.
