Steps:
- Wash and clean the grapes, making sure that all stems are discarded.
- Cover the bottom of a large saucepan with a layer of grapes, then sprinkle with a layer of sugar. Repeat until all the grapes and sugar are in the pan.
- Pour the lemon juice over the grapes and sugar, and let rest for 12 hours.
- Add 1 1/2 cups water to the pot and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Let rest once more overnight, or up to 24 hours.
- Bring the grapes and liquid to a boil and add the vanilla and cloves.
- Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the syrup has become thick enough to coat a spoon. You want the fruit to look candied (the grapes will have actually shriveled a bit), and the syrup to be loose but gooey.
- Ladle the spoon sweets into clean mason jars and refrigerate.
GREEN-OLIVE SPOON SWEET
From Kerasma's Fall 2005 issue of Greek Gourmet Traveler. * * * * * * * * * ***************************************************************************************COOK TIME IS A GUESS! * * * * * * * * * *************************************************************************************** This recipe is for the traditional Greek "Glyko Koutaliou" or "Spoon Sweet.* * * * * * * * * ***************************************************************************************"This description of what a "spoon sweet" is is from "The World Of Greece: Odyssey" Magazine - May/June 2008 issue. "Syrup-laden baklavas, karydopitta, or even the thicker, cakey ravani-style desserts are served on holidays and special occasions, but the everyday sweet is customarily a spoonful of a glyko koutaliou. To this day, spoon sweets are a traditional offering, literally a sweet welcome for visitors into the Greek home, whether they've come for a chat or on a more formal occasion. Spoon sweets are also served at the village kafeneion, a teaspoon-sized serving on a small dish set before the guest or visitor with a glass of iced water and a cup of strong Greek coffee. Traditionally each household put up their own spoon sweets according to the availability of fruit in season. Sweets were made in small quantities, usually to recipes handed down from one generation to the next." * * * * * * * * * ************************************************************************************** Spoon sweet can be eaten by itself or spooned over yogurt or ice cream.
