Fresh

Fresh grapes maintain good quality for two to three days in the refrigerator. Store in a covered container or plastic bag. Just before use, wash grape clusters under a gentle spray of water, drain and pat dry. Table grapes are at their best served slightly chilled to enhance their crisp texture and refreshing flavor.

Frozen

There are a number of ways to use frozen grapes or frozen grape juice. Try these:

• Freeze a few grape "popsicles" for an icy summer treat.
• Freeze grape puree for use in making grape pie and to flavor yogurt.
• Tray freeze seedless grapes and store them in freezer containers. When summer temperatures sizzle, chill summer drinks with "grape" ice cubes.
•  For an easy, refreshing summer dessert, serve tray frozen grapes in a chilled glass bowl.

Dried (Raisins)

Grapes are one of the best fruits to dry. Raisins make excellent snacks and can be used in numerous meals and baked goods. For best results, use seedless grapes. If seeded varieties are used, remove seeds as for fresh grapes before drying. In areas of high humidity, sun drying is not recommended; instead use a dehydrator or oven.
