Ginger always has good recipes--just like you. I saw this over on Recipes and copied/pasted. Yum! Let us know how everyone likes it, but I can't imagine it not being good.

That is very similar to a grape salad I've made a few times. It is yummy!! Your friends will be impressed.

Here is a link that might be useful: Grape Salad

Sounds really good to me! I saved it for Father's day bbque!

Its great!!! Very yummy!!
My Niece made it for the 4th of July picnic awhile back, (she just used the red grapes, but everything else was the same)

I Remember asking for the recipe here and I am sure it was Lydia posted the one I made.

Good, thanks for the headsup, it's on for next Monday. If ya'll like it, then my pool pals will :o)

Question: Did you put the brown sugar and nuts on the nite before as stated in Ginger's recipe?

Wow--there's quite a bit of difference between Lydia's recipe and Ginger's when it comes to the brown sugar.

And a big difference not only with the brown sugar but with the amt of grapes.
Mighty have to do some modifying with the two recipes.
------------------------------------

INGREDIENTS
4 pounds seedless green grapes
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces chopped pecans
2 tablespoons brown sugar

DIRECTIONS
Wash and dry grapes. In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Add grapes and mix until evenly incorporated. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans, mix again and refrigerate until serving.

Can't imagine a cup of brown sugar when you already have the 1/2 cup of sugar. Sounds way too sweet.

Linda that's why I said there needs to be some modifying :o)

How can this be anything but GOOD?! I copied it just in case grapes get cheap. LOL!

I've made the grape salad before... can't remember the exact recipe but I think it's closer to lydia's because it was all stirred together. It turned out ok -- sort of tastes like a no bake cheescake with grapes.

Here's another grape salad that's similar but it's a little more exotic and usually served more as an appetizer. Ginger also posted this one on the recipe forum a while ago:

ROQUEFORT GRAPES (makes 50)
1 lb large, seedless red grapes
10 oz pecans
4 TBL crumbled Roquefort cheese
8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
2 TBL heavy cream
Wash the grapes & pat dry. Crush the pecans on a platter or sheet of waxed paper. Combine the Roquefort, cream cheese & cream in a bowl & mix well. Roll the grapes in the cheese mixture & then in the pecans, coating well. Chill, covered, until serving time.~~ First Impressions

(It's more time consuming than you may think)

I saw that one Carla, and if someone will make I WILL eat :o)

I should have mentioned that the grape salad makes ALOT! I made it for my DD's graduation party and bought like 8 lbs. of grapes... way too much even for the 40 or so peeps that ate that day. We ate it for another week and even then ended up throwing some away... not that it wasn't delicious... just way too much! I think just 2 lbs. of grapes (like the recipe Glenda posted) would be enough for a nice sized bowl of this.

The brown sugar almost makes it like caramel. It's wonderful. We always have it at church potlucks and the bowl is ALWAYS empty!

Glendarama, after you modify the recipe, please post it. I would love to take it to a church potluck this summer. Also, please post a picture. You make the yummiest things!

Those roquefort grapes would make a great summer appetizer. Sounds almost worth the trouble.
