I just tried some muscadines for the first time today at the farmer's market and have been entranced with them, can't stop eating them!

Unfortunately my husband not so much, just a little too weird for him apparently, so while researching the grapes online your recipe was about hit 6 on google and as my husband definitely does dessert I just attempted your recipe.

I only had a 1/4 cup cream, so I halved the recipe and as only 1 egg white was needed too, I decided to beat the egg by hand... until stiff. Wow, I think the egg white beat me instead... I had forgotten how long it takes to do that!

(My wrist hurts a lot too now, I wish I was ambidextrous!)

I love finding out about fruits that I had no idea existed... I didn't think I had heard of muscadine grapes before, but I think I've heard of muscadine wine. They're so incredibly pretty. I love how you decribed their pop as you eat them!

Irina: I have seen them under scupernongs too. I think people here enjoy saying muscadine because there is vineyard making muscadine wine (not that great but eh, we take pride in the little things!!).

Thank you all!

Funny, I just picked up this grape for the first time at the nearby Whole Foods. I've never seen them before. They remind me of hardy concord grapes, and I'm so glad you posted an example of what to do with them. I love discovering new ingredients...

I have to watch my husband's moves in the kitchen. However - sometimes, much to my suprise, he does something unique and brilliant like Bill did.

Cheers,

My favorite part... B. smashing the tops of the perfectly souffled clafoutis. Why waste time right? Love it! Just got some muscadines today and they are already almost gone!

Oh Helen. Made it, & we just polished it off. Was divine. I made a Plum/Dried Black Grape Clafoutis, served with unsweetened cream & a plum/dried black grape compote. Thank you for inspiring me. I woke up with a smile this morning & headed straight for the kitchen!!

Aw, I can see why you and Bill go so well together. That's adorable!

I think I have seen these grapes in stores recently and just wasn't sure what they were. Grapes or huckleberries? I'll have to buy some next time I come across them!

I bought my first muscadine grapes ever on sat and cooked them savory, but I still have some left. Your idea is great for vanilla ice cream. Love your frangipane clafoutis.

Did you just defy the laws of physics? A souffle that did not collapse? Whatever it is, it looks delicious!
