1/2 pound cluster of green grapes, stemmed,
washed, air dried
8 ounces pecans or
almonds
6 ounces softened cream
cheese
1/4 pound crumbled feta
cheese
2 tablespoons half &
half
a few grape leaves for

Start by washing and letting the grapes dry
in a single layer on a clean towel. Toast the nuts until fragrant and light
brown, chop until fine and place in a medium-sized round bowl, set aside. Using
another bowl, mix the cheeses and half & half. Drop the grapes into the
cheese mixture and coat them. One by one, drop the coated grapes into the
chopped nuts, shake the bowl to coat the grapes. Remove each piece with a pair
of spoons, or gloved hands. Place on a serving platter in the shape of a grape
cluster and decorate with grape leaves or other
greens.
