This recipe is the most fattening way to eat grapes. Well, maybe deep frying them would be worse. It’s also the most terrific way to eat grapes. I’ve not met a single person that doesn’t like this grape salad recipe. I’ve shared this recipe in the past, but it’s time to be reminded about it and I updated a few of the photos.
This recipe is great if you are serving a crowd. You can make it easily the day before, and it makes lots. You can put it in a 9×13 pan, layer in a trifle bowl, or serve it in your favorite bowl. The main thing is the brown sugar and optional pecan topping gets on everybody’s serving. The texture is fantastic.
