Wash the grapes thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Transfer them into a serving bowl or individual dessert bowls.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved completely into the butter.
Pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and takes on a glossy texture.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let the butterscotch sauce cool for a few minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
Drizzle the warm butterscotch sauce generously over the grapes. Serve immediately for a warm dessert or refrigerate for a chilled version.
Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a dollop of whipped cream for added texture and flavor.
