A trip to Spain introduced me to its culinary treasures, like Manchego cheese and sherry. This appetizer always impresses folks who’ve never tasted roasted grapes. They're amazing. —Janice Elder, Charlotte, North Carolina

    This was so delicious! My husband was skeptical when I showed him the recipe as he is not a big fan of fruit, but he devoured them and asked that I pu them into regular “rotation”. I will definitely make these again.

    My husband and I thought that this recipe was absolutely amazing! Since I didn't have any fresh basil on hand, I substituted my homemade pesto, which worked just as well. A new favorite and something I'll be making often!
