from the grapes&#8217; skin.\u00a0 I substituted pecans for the walnuts and used vanilla yogurt instead of the plain <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">because plain yogurt makes Hubby gag<\/span> because we prefer them.\u00a0 I also <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">forgot to add the mint<\/span> very intentionally decided against using the mint (even though I remembered to buy it at the store and now will have to use it elsewhere&#8230;grr).\u00a0 Oh, well&#8230;it will make a nice garnish for tonight&#8217;s brown-butter raspberry tart (stay tuned.)\u00a0 This is a very filling breakfast&#8230;you really don&#8217;t need anything to go with it and BONUS:\u00a0 The grapes smell DELICIOUS as you&#8217;re cooking&#8230;seriously, you&#8217;ll think that there&#8217;s a grape jelly factory in your kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>This recipe is strange and a bit time-consuming, but I would make it again.\u00a0 This would be perfect for a festive brunch or when you have out-of-town guests staying with you and you want an impressive breakfast.\u00a0 This would be a VERY easy recipe to double, or even triple, if necessary.\u00a0 This also could serve as a healthy dessert, if you&#8217;re so inclined.<\/p>\n<p>***Correction:\u00a0 It just occurred to me that maybe this recipe was actually SUPPOSED to be a dessert?\u00a0 Oh, well&#8230;we just had dessert for breakfast.\u00a0 My kids will be thrilled to hear this.<\/p>\n<p>Just checked Cooking Light&#8217;s website again and this is, indeed, a dessert.\u00a0 There are even dessert wines listed that are suggested to pair with it.\u00a0 So, my thought is that the serving size is WAY to big for a dessert.\u00a0 If you decide to prepare this recipe that way, I&#8217;d cut the serving size down and make 6 desserts out of one batch, instead of 4, but I still say it makes a great breakfast.\u00a0 You could also use the sugar-roasted grapes to top pancakes, waffles or ice cream, etc.\u00a0 Oooh&#8230;.they would be STELLAR over peanut butter ice cream.\u00a0 Might have to explore that option&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recipe here.\u00a0 Click on the pretty photos to see them bigger.
