KIRSCHENMAN
Chocolate-Dipped Brunch Grapes
8 ounces dark chocolate
8 ounces white chocolate
4 pounds Kirschenman individual large seedless grapes or
smaller seedless grape bunches
1. Line cookie sheets with either waxed paper or parchment paper.
2. Melt dark chocolate over simmering water in a double boiler.
Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. Do not overheat. Repeat with
white chocolate.
3. Reserve half of the grapes ( 2 pounds). Dry the remaining grapes
thoroughly. Immerse larger grapes entirely in either dark or white
chocolate. Remove with a fork and place on a lined cookie sheet. If using
grape bunches, dip bottom of bunches in either dark or white chocolate.
(If using green, black and red grapes, dip green grapes in dark chocolate
and black and red grapes in white chocolate.)
4. Let all dipped fruit set up in the refrigerator until chocolate is no
longer soft to the touch and fruit peels off the lined cookie sheet easily.
5. To serve, arrange the chocolate-coated grapes with the reserved
grapes. Dipped fruit, refrigerated, will keep for 2 days. Do not freeze.
Makes 12 servings.
