Saffron Brook Recipe Q&As

What types of cheese work best for these skewers?

Mild cheeses like cheddar and gouda are ideal since they balance well with the sweetness of grapes. You can also try Emmental or Monterey Jack for variety.

Can I prepare these skewers ahead of time?

Yes, the skewers can be assembled a few hours in advance and refrigerated to keep fresh before serving.

How should the grapes be prepared?

Use seedless grapes, wash them thoroughly, and dry completely to prevent sogginess on the skewers.

Are there any recommended garnishes?

Fresh mint leaves add a refreshing touch and elevate the presentation, but they are optional.

Can I add a flavor twist to these skewers?

For a sweet-salty contrast, drizzle lightly with honey before serving to enhance the flavors.
