Pickled Grapes with Rosemary & Chiles

Ingredients

6 cups stemmed mixed red and green seedless grapes (about 2 pounds)

2 cups distilled white vinegar or white wine vinegar

2 Tablespoons kosher salt

2 teaspoons sugar

3 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled

Leaves from 1 four-inch sprig rosemary

1/2 teaspoon crushed dried red chile flakes

Directions

1Pack the grapes into 3 pint-size glass containers with lids. Pour the vinegar and 1 cup water into a saucepan, set it over medium-high heat, and add the salt, sugar, garlic, rosemary, and chile flakes. When the mixture starts to simmer, remove the pan from the heat and divide the hot brine among the pints of grapes.

2Cover loosely and let cool to room temperature.

3Cover tightly and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before serving. The pickles will keep in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks.

It would be too acidic. They would be great with some Manchego or sliced in half in a salad.

I am DYING to make these. They sound delish. What does your staff mixologist think about using them as martini garnishes?

These are really good–surprising, since I never think of garlic and grapes in the recipe. There is a cool, refreshing red wine and Italian food vibe to these grapes and the would go really well with pate, salads and slow cooked meats.
