Blue Ribbon Recipe by

My brother, who loves cooking as much as I do, served this recipe at one of our family get-togethers. It was an immediate hit.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you love grapes and fruit salad, then you need to try this grape salad. The grapes stay firm and are coated in a slightly sweet sauce. We love the combination of the very sweet red grapes and slightly tart green grapes. It adds a delicious contrast in flavors. Topping with brown sugar adds almost a caramel flavor. A sprinkle of pecans gives the salad a nice crunch. Putting this in a 9x13 dish ensures every serving has a bit of the topping. Great for a barbecue or a spring or summer gathering.
