Ingredients
Scale
For the Marinated Grapes
- 2 cups seedless grapes (green or red)
- ½ cup dill pickle juice
For Serving
- 6 oz cheese of choice (cheddar, gouda, or your favorite cheese), cut into bite-sized cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the Grapes: Rinse the grapes thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel to remove any residue or dirt.
- Marinate the Grapes: Place the cleaned grapes in a shallow bowl or airtight container. Pour the dill pickle juice over the grapes, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably 4 hours, to allow the grapes to absorb the tangy flavors.
- Serve with Cheese: After marinating, drain the grapes from the pickle juice. Arrange the grapes and cheese cubes on a serving platter for a delightful, flavorful appetizer.
Notes
- Use seedless grapes for easier eating and less mess.
- Adjust marinating time to control pickle flavor intensity; longer marination results in stronger pickle taste.
- Choose a semi-hard cheese such as cheddar or gouda to complement the tartness.
- This appetizer is best served chilled.
- Can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated for convenience.
