Kyoho Grapes

I went to the farmers market today to pick up some fresh herbs for a lamb skewer recipe I found on Tasting Table. While I was there, I decided to peruse the fruit stalls. I stumbled upon some Kyoho grapes, which I've never heard of before. So, I decided to taste some (the best part of a farmers market!). They basically taste like Concord grapes, but are bigger and fleshier. Sweet, yet tart at the same time. Sold me!

Now, I can not think of what to do with them besides eat them alone (no problem) or with some Humbolt Fog cheese I still have. Any ideas on a sauce or condiment...anything!?

  1. I'm sure you'll come up with something inventive, but my mind goes to things like...having some with a dollop of yogurt plus honey drizzle and a sprinkle of some kind of chopped nuts, or sauteing (that can't be spelled right?) up some pancetta "bits" and tossing with spinach (thus wilting and warming it a little), adding the grapes, cheese (maybe manchego?), again maybe chopped nuts (why am I picturing hazelnuts?, or some version of this http://recipeexchange.tribe.net/thread/81b9b9e5-b6f6-4ead-a703-a95f5fdd326e which I remember making years ago...
