Freeze them :)

They will keep for ages, and they make great ice cubes, or just a good little snack too.. Icy grapes are lovely.

Meant to add, split them up a bit and put them in little bags of a dozen each or so.

Juice them? Maybe with a couple of kiwi fruit or carrots/apples?

Tread on them - and turn them into vino Grin

Make grape jelly - it's declicious in peanut butter sandwiches.

Halve and pip them and use them as decoration for a cheesecake or iced sponge, or to make little grape tarts or trifle.

Fillet of sole with white grapes is a classic dish, and grapes go well with other fish too.

Blue cheese, grape, and onion tart - serve with a salad.

Let your imagination run riot or browse the net for specific recipes.

Just leave them on the side near my children, they will disappear in about 40 seconds flat ;)

Chop them in half, smother in whipped double cream, sprinkle with brown sugar and stick under the grill to make an oh-so-lovely cheat's creme brule.

Eat them all and then spend the next 2 days sitting on the toilet. I can't resist grapes, but I always regret it later Blush

Delia did that ghastly recipe with grapes and tarragon stuffed into a chicken.

I'm hoping you're a vegetarian.

Or grape juice if you prefer :)

Bit late now but you can refuse them on the doorstep and they'll refund you.

Take them to the supermarket and eat them whilst you walk around. Wink

Laquitar we could polish 4 punnets off in a couple of days, no problem. DS1 on his own would eat the lot if allowed to :)
