Ingredients

  • 4 pounds grapes
  • 3 egg whites
  • Superfine sugar

Method

Choose perfect bunches of grapes; discard any blemished grapes. Trim the bunches to the desired size, then, for convenience in hanging the grapes to dry, tie a string to the stem of each bunch. Be certain the string is tied securely.

Dip a paintbrush into the unbeaten egg whites and brush the grapes only enough to lightly moisten them. Dust liberally with superfine sugar. Touch up spots
