Pick from stems, seedless green grapes. Wash and dry and sprinkle with light brown sugar. Chill well. Serve with sour cream.

For a cake that looks difficult....(but really isn't) I'd say Pineapple upside down cake bigsmile

(1) box yellow cake mix (Plus whatever added ingredient it calls for on box)

(1) jar Marischino cherries

(1) can crushed pineapple

(1) can pineapple rings

Enough brown sugar to coat the bottom of cake pan about a quarter of an inch

About a half a stick (to a whole stick according to baking pan are of butter (or stick margerine according to your budget)

Instructions:


Drain pineapples thoroughly (I reserve the juice from this to substitute for the water in the cake mix instruction

I tend to use a 9 x 12 pan for a thinner cake with a thinner of topping. But a smaller 8x8 or other will result in a thicker cake with a thick topping.

Mix batter according to box instructions (remembering to use the reserved pineapple juice instead of water) and set aside.

In the bottom of the baking pan sprinkle the brown sugar to about an eight of an inch to a quarter of an inch thickness.

take dobs of butter about the size of a marischino cherry snd dob them with about 2 and a half to three inch spacing.

place the pineapple rings as the next layer in the pan touching as you can, or spacing them for a pleasing pattern depending on your size of pan.

place marischono cherries in side each ring and/or in between rings also depending on pan size.

sprinkle crushed pineapple as next layer.

pour batter in pan. bake according to mix instructions. HOWEVER: keep in mind that a bigger pan will have a thinner cake layer and will cook faster. so after 20 mins. check cke by toothpicl or butter knife (insert ans remove, if batter isn't sticking....and cake springsback to touch...it's done. use common sense that it is hot and don't burn your fingers if you don't know what I mean by springs back...don't use that part of the method, then just use the tooth pick or butter knife.

When cake is done let cool slightly,(but not totally or it will stick to pan).

Place platter that cke will be on over cake pan. Using oven mits on both of your hands clasp the platter and the baking pan and fllip over (upside down). jiggle ever so lightly and slowly remove the pan tapping lightly on the bottom of the pan to that nothing sticks.

I know this sounds like alot of steps, but when you've done this, it's actually easier than making a regular frosting from scratch and will really impress your company. Evev more so if you can serve it warm and serve a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side bigsmile

Sorry about the typos here and there....I'm typing on a teeny tiny keyboard todaylaugh
