Cotton Candy Grapes...Seriously?
Comments (25)I was very surprised to find the Cotton Candy grapes in the store here. I guess I would never have noticed them if it hadn't been for this thread. Of course I had to try one, even though I dislike cotton candy intensely. And sure enough, it was all I could do to keep from spitting it out! If I'd had a napkin or anything handy I would have spit it out! It left the most gosh-awful taste in my mouth! But I can see where kids, or anyone who likes cotton candy, might like them. It was a pretty weird flavor, to me, but taste is subjective. We had the Grapples here a few years ago, too. Personally I didn't much care for them, but I could have eaten them if I had to. Guess no one else liked them either, haven't seen them since. I wish Concord grapes would be available more here. Once in awhile, every few years, the stores might have them for a day or two. A rare threat, indeed! Rusty...See MoreHarmons 'Cotton Candy'...Worth It?
Comments (2)Yellow is very inconsistent. I wrote a research article about it for my club and did a presentation because one of the seasoned growers was trying to grow yellows. Jeff Smith in the AVSA publication in several articles explained the very complicated genetics that create the look of yellow. It is not an actual pigment. You could ask the grower their opinion, if it blooms true. Also, if you can buy directly from a professional grower, especially the hybridizer, you will get better stock and a guarantee. As a new grower, do try growing a few solid colors such as blue or pink. That will give you something predictable so that if the exotics underperform, you will have something that is rewarding....See MoreDo you like grapes?
Comments (16)I also like them seedless...red or green as long as they're big and sweet. This topic made me think of this simple recipe with sausages and grapes (from Ina Garten). I've served it several times now. You can use whatever sausage combination you prefer. I've used Merlot or Shiraz for the wine, but you can also make this without the wine. Also, I roast this in a 450 degree oven instead of 500. Roasted Sausages and Grapes (Serves 6-8) 1 1/2 pounds Italian hot sausage 1 1/2 pounds Italian sweet sausage 3 T. butter 2 pounds red and/or green seedless grapes, stems removed 2 to 4 T. dry red wine, preferably Chianti 3 T. balsamic vinegar Fresh Foccaccia or Ciabatta bread, to serve Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Parboil the sausages in water to cover for 8 minutes to rid them of excess fat. Melt the butter in a large heatproof roasting pan, add the grapes, and toss to coat. Over moderately high heat add the wine. Stir with a wooden spoon for a few minutes until the wine has reduced by half. Using tongs, transfer the parboiled sausages to the roasting pan and push them down in the grapes so the sausages will not brown too quickly. Roast in the oven, turning the sausages once, until the grapes are soft and the sausages have browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Place the roasting pan on top of the stove over a medium-high heat and add the balsamic vinegar. Scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the roasting pan, and allow the vinegar and juices to reduce until they are thick and syrupy. With a slotted spoon, transfer the sausages and grapes to a serving platter. Pour the sauce over the sausages and grapes and serve immediately, accompanied with fresh bread....See MoreWHY HAS MY Cotton Candy Fern turned white?
Comments (4)Well, that's good to know gardengal48 about that ferns natural habitat. Actually I live in QLD, Australia, and that would not be the problem atm (mid summer here with an unusual wetter than average season), but after that good dunking soak I gave it yesterday, it has somewhat recovered, so I believe the root ball must have taken over the whole pot, and part of it dried out, even though I water it daily, overhead. So I will start watering it by immersing the whole pot. Maybe try a little clay in the water too. Problem solved, thankyou all...See More- 2 years ago
