Thinking About Concord Grapes

Oct24_129Welch's and Smuckers have made Concord grapes seem pretty ordinary, but for my tastes, fresh Concord grapes available this time of year are anything but mass produced tasting.

In fact, I find them extraordinarily flavorful. The question is, what to do with them?

Maybe frozen, and stuffed with something creamy and rich.  Like this?

Maybe pureed, strained and reduced as a sauce for fish? How about as a sauce for a tender, poached cod or a seared, crispy bass?

Maybe reduced into a sweet syrup, for seared scallops?

Maybe a gelee? Damn, that would be great with oysters.

Hmmm.  Will have to give it some thought, but expect a post with an experimentation soon....
