Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Seedless grapes (red, green, or a mix)
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 2 pieces Star anise
- 4 pieces Cloves
- 100 milliliters Fresh orange juice
- 50 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Wash the grapes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel. Remove any stems.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, honey, cinnamon stick, star anise, cloves, orange juice, and water.
Stir gently and bring the mixture to a simmer, ensuring the sugar fully dissolves.
Add the grapes to the saucepan and gently toss them to coat in the spiced liquid.
Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer the grapes for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened but still hold their shape.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Let the spiced grapes cool to room temperature. Discard the cinnamon stick, star anise, and cloves.
Serve the spiced grapes as-is, or use them as a topping for yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, or cheese platters. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
