心情不倒翁

  

As summer's bounty of tomatoes and peaches fades, so does the enthusiasm of many farmers' market patrons. But not mine -- I look forward to fall and the abundance of squash, apples, and, especially, grapes. I love strolling through the stands and seeing more varieties than the average grocery store offers, like purply concord and tiny champagne grapes travel industry statistics.

More than 8,000 varieties of grapes are grown worldwide, including ones grown specifically for wine, vinegar, jams and jellies, juice, and even raisins. Aside from eating out of hand, grapes are an extremely versatile ingredient for cooking and can be used in many sweet dishes like pies, cakes, and sorbets. The tannic, acidic, and earthy qualities of grapes also make them ideal for savory applications (and don't forget about the leaves!) Here are my 5 favorite ways to cook with grapes LED Dimmer:
