Ruth Hekman's Grape salad






I remember that Ruth Hekman made an amazing salad once out of grapes and sour cream, so I looked up recipes on the Web.
We have some rather flavorless green grapes which I now have  mixed in a modified version of this recipe chilling in the 'fridge,
so we'll see if it's good money after bad or if it tastes nice. I only had a bit of cream cheese and a bit of sour cream, so I also added some
of that cooking cream that comes in the "long life" cartons here--and plan to add bananas at the last minutes.

BUT if you live in the USA you can make it the way it's supposed to be made!


4# of seedless grapes (green or purple)
1 8oz package of cream cheese
1 8 oz container sour cream
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 ounces chopped pecans
2 tbsp brown sugar

Wash and dry grapes. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla, and white sugar. Add grapes and mix until evenly incorporated. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans, mix again and refrigerate until serving.

  1. Now that spices are a mainstay of cooking, I'd probably add cardamom and cinnamon!

    And, because there are so many wonderful alternatives, I'll use Vegan cream cheese and sour cream (reducing dairy here as much as possible!)
