Рецепт SWEET: grapes
by katerina papaspiliopoulou
Do you know what we call «sweets of the spoon» in greek? They are sweets made with fresh fruits, boiled in a syrup till the syrup is thick and they are then kept and used all year round.
The original method of serving is to put a small spoon full of the sweet in a small plate and serve it accompanied with cold water.
Also it can be added to yoghurt or even to an icecream.
Starting my preparations for the forthcoming winter, I made a sweet using grapes.

Инструкции
- We wash and separate the grapes.
- In a heavy pan we put the water, sugar and vanilla
- We put the pan on the heat
- When the syrup starts boiling, we add the grapes and we shake the pan smoothly from time to time.
- We boil for 10 minutes and we remove immediately the pan from the heat.
- We cover the pan with a towel.
- Next day we re-start boiling till the syrup becomes thick
- Before removing the pan from the heat we add the lemon zest in order for the sugar not to be crystallised.
- When the sweet is cool, we put in sterilised vases and keep it in a dry dark place.
