I bet that IS good. Thanks for posting it.

No problem! Let me know if you try it and what you thought!

That sounds very good. I think I will cut and paste that one!

This is similiar to the one we make. Ours is a little different.

2 1/2 to 3 lbs. washed and dryed seedless grapes
1 8 oz.pkg. softened cream cheese
1 tsp. vanilla
8 oz. sour cream
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/2 cup confectioners sugar


With a mixer, mix together cream cheese, confectioners sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until smooth.

Fold in sour cream. Fold in grapes.

i tried this for a meeting at work and everyone seemed to love it. i would skip the brown sugar/nuts next time though.

I love this stuff! I got out my recipe to compare and found mine is a little different than the ones above

2-8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
12 oz cool whip
2 t vanilla
4 lbs grapes

Beat cream cheese, add in powdered sugar, cool whip and vanilla. Stir in grapes. Place in serving bowl and top with brown sugar.

I just saw a very similar recipe to this in the latest issue of Taste of Home. Seems to be a popular dish right now.

Southernrn,
I made your recipe for grape salad and served it to guests last night. They loved it, and asked for the recipe. It think I'll be keeping this recipe, too.

Wow this sounds great!
Any idea of how far in advance this can be made?
I need to take something to a pot luck on Sunday. Is today too soon to make it? Just so happens I have everything listed in the recipe.
thanks!

I've posted this before but it's always a hit & maybe you'll enjoy them as well.

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

I probably wouldn't make it until the night before. And if you choose one of the recipes that takes brown sugar, put that on right before serving.

Thank you Tracey.
I'll hold off a couple of days.

I have made the grape salad, and toasted the pecans. Delicious!

That's similar to the one I got from a cookbook of mine but the proportions are different. I like the brown sugar on it though as well as the nuts.

GRAPE SALAD (serves 8-10)
1 lb red grapes
1 lb green grapes
8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
8 oz container sour cream
1 TBL vanilla
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped pecans

Place grapes in a large serving bowl. Combine cheese & granulated sugar, stirring well. Combine sour cream & vanilla in a separate bowl.
combine cream cheese mixture & sour cream mixture. Add to grapes, stirring well. Top w/brown sugar & pecans. DO NOT STIR. Cover & chill overnight.~~What Can I Bring? Jr League of N. Virginia

I am looking for a grape salad recipe that is similar to this one but gets baked instead of chilled. Would any one know of the recipe and where I can find it?
