Freeze them :)

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

squeakytoy · 09/08/2011 13:19

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

Wine?

peppapighastakenovermylife · 09/08/2011 13:20

Yep - learn to make wine Grin

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 09/08/2011 13:31

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.

Give them to Stu Francis?

bigbadbarry · 09/08/2011 13:33

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

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 09/08/2011 13:53

Agree with freeze them or juice/blend them for smoothies.

northerngirl41 · 09/08/2011 13:57

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.

blackeyedsusan · 09/08/2011 13:58

what a waste notso, he would only crush them.

whoneedssleepanyway · 09/08/2011 14:04

What great ideas...!!!

Think i will freeze a punnet in small bags and make some juice/ smoothies with the rest...

Am i the only one who feels like a pig whith threads like this one?

4 punnets of grapes in this house wouldn't be a problem, they would go in 2 days .

notso · 09/08/2011 14:07

Grin @ blackeyedsusan.

HellonHeels · 09/08/2011 16:29

I could down a punnet or two of grapes in a day no problem Blush That is why I'm fat though.

RedBlanket · 09/08/2011 16:33

My DCs would have scoffed the lot within a day!

rogersmellyonthetelly · 09/08/2011 16:37

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

LineRunner · 09/08/2011 16:38

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

I'm hoping you're a vegetarian.

LollipopViolet · 09/08/2011 16:39

Make wine :)

Or grape juice if you prefer :)

Numberfour · 09/08/2011 16:43

I once ordered 7kg of pears and 7kg of courgettes. I had intended to order 7 items.....................Friends and family had to share in the bounty Smile

worraliberty · 09/08/2011 16:45

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

HedleyLamarr · 09/08/2011 16:47

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

Fifis25StottieCakes · 09/08/2011 16:50

grape surpise anyone

desserts sorted Grin

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 09/08/2011 16:53

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 :)

EmLH · 09/08/2011 17:05

Give them to your local toddler group for snack time?!
