Not the grapes of wrath again

 

Are you getting too much attention?  Then just hide, Honey.

I was at the Tuesday market, when I saw some beautiful purple grapes.  The guy was selling them at 15 bucks for 2 kilos.  That's cheap, so I bought it.  I munched on grapes on the way home, and they were plump, firm, juicy and sweet.  Perfect grapes.  I didn't eat that many, maybe less than 10.  And I found out why they were so cheap: I got diarrhea.  I got the runs so bad, it was like turning on the faucet full blast.

What to do with 2 kilos of grapes?  I can't eat them.  I can't give them away for someone else to eat.  I can't throw them away, that's a lot of grapes and I spent 15 bucks on them!  So I thought I could cook the diarrhea out of the grapes.  There were so many grapes that it took a lot of labor to remove the seeds.  You can see below the end result.  I didn't want to dry them up nor add anything.  The flavor is excellent.  I blended them up, and got the thickness of a V8 vegetable juice.  Too runny for toast, but why not.  There are many ways to use this, from sweetening fried noodles to crushed ice treats.  So far, no more diarrhea.  I would rather have eaten them straight up, though.
