Easy Garnish Tip

I sometimes chop the green part of green onions or scallions to toss in salad or on baked potatoes. When I do this I simply chop them into rings. However, if you would like to add a bit of flare cut them lengthwise, into thin strips and place them in cold water. The water will cause it to curl slightly adding a nice touch to your garnish.

Hope you find this useful.

Pickled Grapes

I have not actually had these but am told they are great and go great with pork.
NEED:
3 cups stemmed red seedless grapes
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup white wine vinegar
3 ( 3 inch ) cinnamon sticks
1 tablespoon minced onion

Wash the grapes and divide them into three pint sized canning jars.
In a small saucepan, bring the sugar, vinegar, cinnamon and onion to a boil, then simmer 5 minutes. Pour syrup evenly over the grapes and insert a cinnamon stick in each jar. Seal tightly and refrigerate at least 8 hours. Servings: Make 3 cups.

ENJOY!
