Grilled Grapes

 These can be a big surprise on a camp 0ut!   The grapes get blistered and caramelized on the outside, and extra juicy and practically jammy on the inside. To get fancier, throw some hardy fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme in the oil—they’ll perfume the grapes, making them just the right amount of savory.
Then it’s only a matter of what to do with them:
Serve them as a condiment for meat.  Spoon them over pork, chicken, or even flaky white fish to instantly upgrade your main course.
Spoon them over ice cream.  A big helping served over vanilla ice cream just may be the ultimate 2-ingredient sundae.
Sprinkle them on salad.  Swap raw grapes out for a handful of roasted grapes and even the simplest salad will be transformed into something much more.
Use them as a topping for crustini.  One serious party hit, crostini are a perfect vehicle for the juicy grapes. Swipe something creamy like  ricotta or goat cheese on the toasts first. Or don’t. Either way you win.
Toss them with pasta.  Fruit in pasta? Believe it. Roasted grapes add just the right amount of sweetness to balance spicy, savory  ingredients like sausage, and their juice creates an instant sauce.
Use them as a fancy addition to a cheese plate.  Serve them in a bowl alongside a cheese plate and your guests will instantly be impressed. They pair perfectly with both soft cheeses like brie and harder cheeses like cheddar.
