Doesn't This Sound Good?

I just saw this in a magazine that my grandmother gave me and it sounded so good I thought that I would share it with everyone. I was just picturing how good this would be with other seasonal fruits such as cherries, pineapple or how about some fresh figs.

I bet this would be terrific served with some pound cake.

Brandied Grapes

Seedless green grapes (the recipe says to leave whole but I don't see why you couldn't cut them in half if you wanted to)

Brandy( about a 1/3 of a cup per pound of grapes)

Sour cream

Nutmeg to taste

Cinnamon to taste

Cover grapes with brandy, cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Marinate overnight. Serve with sour cream. Keep sour cream in separate bowl.
