- 1 cinnamon stick

directions
- Put the wine vinegar, water, orange juice, cinnamon, cloves and sugar into a sauce pan, bring to the boil then set aside to cool.
- Wash the grapes, take them off their stalks and make sure you remove any remaining bits of stalk from the grapes.
- When the vinegar mixture is cool, remove the cinnamon stick.
- Take a clean jar (a pickling jar is ideal) and pack in the grapes.
- Pour the vinegar mixture into the jar to cover the grapes, then seal the jar tightly.
- Leave the jar in a cool dark place for 2 days before eating - I keep mine in the fridge, because I am not sure how well they keep if not chilled. Eat within 2 weeks of making.

Reviewed for PAC Fall 06.Once again this chef has provided a true winner. Unique, different and very tasty. These will be so good along side chicken or pork. What I thought was going to be a weak flavored and flat dish when I first put it together matured into a deep, very full flavored dish with 2 days in the fridge. You have to be able to resist sampeling for the given time to have the full experience. I used the full amount of spice and it's a real treat. I used Splenda in place of sugar and it worked fine. I'm smiling my way through Sweet Pickled Grapes and this review.
