Pickled grapes? Yes. Meet your Charcuterie Board's new best friend. We get so many skeptics about these, and in the end, they're pleasantly surprised. So many lovely flavors come together to make these pickled grapes and tart-sweet treat. Lovely with all types of cheeses. Fantastic on a salad with feta. So much fun!
