Muscadine Grapes Are Here!

Certain things I just love. Muscadine grapes are one, the season just started and I'm pumped. Granted you can't do too much with them but I love just bursting them in my mouth. Their thick skin and seeds make them not alot of fun to work with but I had to use them last night. So I juiced them added some gelatin and whipped it into a sponge to set.

The texture was fantastic and the flavor was perfect. I use it for a bouche I was calling 'wine and cheese'. I used a local raw cows milk farmers cheese to accompany.
Like little tasty soldiers, all lined up!


The final product had the cheese, sponge, marcona almonds, and a little aged balsamic.
