"My aunt gave me this recipe and I never thought I would try it because I'm not much of a grape eater. We needed something special for a function and I found this recipe. It got rave reviews, so I'm passing it along."

• 1⁄3 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1⁄4 cup lemon juice

directions

1. Place grapes in a large bowl so you will have plenty of room to stir.
