TOFFEE GRAPES
We are all familiar with toffee apples. Why not toffee grapes? An unusual and scrumptious, low calorie, NO FAT addition to the cheese platter for those willing to try something a little bit different, and those not afraid to mix sweet and savoury. This recipe appeared in the November 2005 issue of 'Australian Good Taste'. It recommends these grapes as an ideal accompaniment to strong cheeses such as gorgonzola, and suggests serving them with a sparkling Shiraz. The preparation and cooking times do not include the 10 minutes setting time. I have two other toffeed fruit recipes posted: Recipe #153652 and Recipe #344180.

Steps:
- Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper; and using kitchen scissors, cut the grapes into small bunches of 3-6 grapes.
- Combine the sugar and water in a heavy-based saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium and gently boil, without stirring, occasionally brushing down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in water, for 12-15 minutes or until golden, then set the toffee mixture aside until the bubbles have reduced.
- Using kitchen tongs to hold the stem (or if your tongs are too large for this job, a pair of tweezers), gently dip a grape cluster into the toffee mixture and turn it evenly to ensure that it is fully coated. Transfer the grapes to the prepared tray. Repeat with the remaining grapes and toffee mixture. Set aside for 10 minutes or until the toffee sets.
- Arrange the grapes on a cheese board with the assorted cheeses of your choice. And serve with water biscuits, Oaten Biscuits Recipe #144738 and bread slices.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F, and line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
- Combine the flour, oat bran, sugar, salt and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl, and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Add the water and use a round-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix the ingredients in the bowl until the mixture just comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out the dough until it is about 3mm thick. Use a 5cm/2"-diameter round pastry cutter to cut out the biscuits and place them on the prepared trays.
- Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with egg and sprinkle with the extra oat bran.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven, swapping the position of the trays over halfway through the cooking, for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Set aside for 15 minutes to cool.
- Serve with the blue cheese, cheddar and brie and with Toffee Grapes Recipe #144733.

- Wash the grapes and let them dry completely (or towel dry). Set the toffee bits in a small bowl. Line a baking sheet with a silicon baking mat or waxed paper.
- Put the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave 30 seconds longer. Stir a lot. If the chocolate isn’t melted yet, microwave 30 seconds more and stir again.
- Test each grape to see if it will stand on its end. Some will, some won’t. If the grape will not stand up, then cut just a tiny bit off the end to make it stand properly. Stab the top of the grape with a toothpick, dip the bottom end (the cut side) in the chocolate, then roll in the toffee bits. Set on the prepared tray. Repeat until you run out of chocolate or grapes or toffee.
- Let the grapes sit until the chocolate is set, then they are ready to enjoy! Store in a cool place until it’s time to eat.
