After mixing the dressing, I stemmed, washed and dried the grapes and into the dressing it went.

Now for the brown sugar and pecans.

 The recipe states to mix together and refrigerate until serving, but I had read another similar recipe that said if you let it sit overnight, the brown sugar melts better and makes the sauce have a “caramel” taste so I decided to try that out.

Oh. My. Word.  This turned out so much better than I thought.  I absolutely loved it and I wasn’t surprised when I had people asking me what the creamy sauce was made out of. I really learned that I shouldn’t judge a grape by it’s cover! lol

Ingredients

• 4 pounds seedless green grapes
• 1 8 ounce package cream cheese
• 1 8 ounce container sour cream
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 ounces chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

• Wash and dry grapes. In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Add grapes and mix until evenly incorporated. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans, mix again and refrigerate until serving.

Although this makes a beautiful salad for brunches or showers, kids love it too!  My grandkids liked it minus the pecans.  You know how they can be!
