Name: Sweet-Hot Holiday Grapes
Ingredients: 1 3/4 c Red Flame seedless grapes; 1 3/4 c Green seedless grapes; 1 c Sugar; 2/3 c Cider vinegar; 1 c Water; 4 lg Jalapenos; seeded and quartered

Trials can devastate us because we are often looking as to how they are affecting our lives. Yet when we can die to self and desire God’s glory as a result of them, we are given an entirely different outlook. We can actually rejoice if we know God’s name, God’s glory is being magnified as witnessed through our response to the trial. Specifically how? When others see our Christlike attitude – gratitude verses complaining, kindness verses anger, faith verses anxiety, contentment verses greed and joy verses bitterness – God is glorified. It means very little when godly character and spiritual fruit only appear when things are going well in our lives.

INSTRUCTIONS

Last night I had a class with food scientist/writer Shirley Corriher.
Thought ya'll might be interested in one of the appetizers...  it wasn't
very hot, so I would increase the peppers. Quite a surprise on the ol'
holiday buffet, or ringing the bird!
Remove from their stems 1 3/4 Cups each red flame and green seedless
grapes; rinse and place in medium bowl. (Will be approx. 1 1/2 pounds of
grapes.)
Simmer in medium saucepan over low heat for 10 minutes:  1 Cup sugar, 2/3
Cup cider vinegar, 1 Cup water and 4 large jalapenos that have been seeded
and quartered.
Pour mixture over grapes.  (Add a little water if necessary so grapes are
completely covered.)  Cover with plastic wrap and marinate at room
temperature overnight. Serve cold or at room temperature. Keeps
refrigerated 5-6 days.
I noticed that the green grapes are slightly discolored at the end b/c of
the vinegar, but it's not bad.  Might arrange so you don't see it, or just
use red ones...
