dstr8 Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Yeah, go ahead and laugh. I did. Until I tasted them. They're going atop vanilla ice cream after dinner tonight. With the KK biscotti I made yesterday. Shake 'em around until they get caramelized yet still moist; the idea is not to turn them into raisins Edited June 2, 2016 by dstr8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Oh, Hay-yall Yeah! Roasted grapes. I've never done them myself, but had them in restaurants - killer! Don't limit yourself to dessert. Think about putting those yummy flavor bombs in a grilled chicken breast salad, or along side a nice grilled piece of fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 dstr8, I must try that they look soooooooo good. Either tomorrow or Sat. I'm going to make a batch of vanilla ice cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 @dstr8 - I've done a lot of fruit on the kamado, but never thought of doing grapes! Thanks for a grand idea. Have any of y'all done cherries! Pitted fresh cherries on the KK take fresh cherry pies to another level all together! Really a wonderful, subtle taste. Grilled cherries also take just plain vanilla ice cream into orbit. But first, grilled grapes are in order. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Totally awesome. I've done peaches, pineapple and Watermelon but never grapes. Will have to give that a try. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Same here, never done cherries, but sounds great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 dstr, I'm assuming you mean sour cherries, not the sweet ones. Is that correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstr8 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I prefer sour cherries for pies...all things the way my Mom scratch made them while growing up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Hey All - yes, it is the sour cherries not the sweet that go in pies! Its getting to be peach season around here and its time to grill some peaches for desert, for cobblers, and pies. Nectarines as well. Watermelon season is just around the corner. Black Diamond watermelons are simply super when grilled. I've grilled a lot of watermelon, juiced it all, and then used it as a mixer. Absolute(ly) lovely! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Yes, I agree, the pie must be sour cherry pie but when you grill cherries is that also the sour variety? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 @MacKenzie - I have grilled any number of different types of cherries. The sour cherries are for the pie, but the Mt. Rainer and Bings and others make wonderful desert toppings. Simply get the cherries roasted on the KK, put them in a simple syrup with a thickening agent, let them cool, and you have Roasted Cherry Topping for ice-cream, angel food cake, shortcakes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using Alton Brown's recipe. Just curious. There are so many recipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Eggary, 6 yolks, and heavy cream and a vanilla bean. This is not the time to go healthy.:) Yes, I do make the custard first, no big deal here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I tried red grapes for the first time not too long ago... Would have never thought to put them with dessert, fantastic idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
