2.2 Kg package of Red Grapes (with seeds)
My wife accidentally bought 2.2 Kg of grapes from Costco. The grapes have seeds. Kids won't eat them. Any ideas what I can do with them? Recipes?

How about a seed spitting contest? Give prizes for accuracy and distance, but they have to eat the grapes first.

Split them open and toss them in a pan with sauteed onions, peppers and sliced sausage for a sauce for pasta. You can scoop out the seeds first or not. You probably won't notice the seeds once its cooked down. I've done this with them whole or cut in half.

Are you talking red grapes, real grapes that can be red and can be with or without seeds or are you referring to red TOMATO grape tomatoes? I know, I know, maybe I'm dense, but I wouldn't want real red grapes festooning my pizza or pasta. And I'm at least pretty sure from the tomato varieties that you grow that your wife would probably know that red TOMATO grape tomatoes have seeds.

Real red grapes with seeds...kids won't eat them. Not tomatoes.
Seed spitting contest might be fun, but it is cold outside. Carolyn, not sure if my wife would know that, she doesn't share my love of tomatoes. She thinks I am a little crazy. Can you believe that? |

Cut them in half, seed them, and add them to salads, lots of salads. They work with mixed greens, especially if you add walnuts and craisins, maybe some pears and a nice viniagrette. You can also add them to a nice Waldorf-style salad--plenty of good apples around now. Failing that, it's not too cold to throw them at squirrels trying to ravage your birdfeeders. :-)

Freeze them, roast them, juice them, or search for recipes online.
