Grapes in syrup
Description
Homemade preserves keep for a long time. I used to prepare other berries and some fruits this way before, and I only recently decided to make grapes in syrup at home. I love them very much, in any form, and in syrup they turn out very juicy and incredibly delicious. You can eat such grapes on their own, or add them to baked goods, salads, or use them to decorate desserts. By the way, for this simple grape-in-syrup recipe you can use absolutely any grape variety; however, I try to choose seedless ones.
