Ingredients
- 8¾ oz fresh grapes, washed and stems removed
- 6½ Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tsp lemon juice, or to taste
- 2 tbsp water
Method
- Put the honey, water, cinnamon if using, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat and stir until the honey loosens into a thin syrup, about 2 minutes. Do not let it boil hard.
- Add the grapes and cook gently, shaking the pan, for 3 to 4 minutes until the grapes are just warmed through, glossy, and beginning to soften but still holding their shape.
- Take off the heat and leave for 5 minutes so the grapes take on the flavour of the syrup.
- Spoon the grapes and their honey syrup into small bowls and serve warm or at room temperature, on their own or over plain yogurt, ice cream, or soft cheese.
