What cheeses work well with grapes on skewers?

Mild cheddar and gouda are ideal due to their firm texture and balanced flavor, but Emmental or Monterey Jack can also be used for variety.

How should grapes be prepared for the skewers?

Use seedless red grapes, washed thoroughly and dried completely to prevent slipping on the skewers.

Fresh mint leaves add a pleasant aroma and visual appeal; they can be placed on the serving platter or threaded lightly onto skewers.

They can be served immediately at room temperature or chilled briefly; chilling enhances the refreshing quality of the grapes.

Drizzle a light amount of honey over the skewers before serving to complement the salty cheese with sweetness.

These skewers contain milk from the cheese, so check individual cheese labels for additives if needed.
