I have to admit that this idea came to me while watching my young son drop grape halves into a glass of water. Since that day I have been watching him closely for further inspiration. Ingredients:
1/2 pound seedless red or green grapes |
2 cups chilled still water |
Directions:
1. 1. Cut the grapes in half and divide into two equal parts. Puree half of the grapes with 1/2 cup of the water in a blender until smooth, for about 30 seconds.
2. 2. Pour the rest of the water into a pitcher. Strain the pureed grape mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the pitcher, and stir well.
3. 3. Place the remaining grape halves in the wells of standard ice cube trays. Fill the trays with the grape-water mixture and freeze.
4. WATER PAIRINGS: Squirt of Apio-Rey
5. TIP: Be on the lookout for interesting seedless grapes. My favorite for this recipe is a new seedless Muscatit has all the flavor of a regular Muscat grape without the bother of the seeds.
