We have 7 plants this year and ALL ARE FLOURISHING (yikes!) so I have been experimenting myself over here. Lots of sauces and soups for the freezer; and on the drying front, I've done 'em in the oven, borrowed a friend's dehydrator, and have even tried an experiment I read about online: put them on a baking sheet and placed them on the dashboard of the car, parked in a sunny spot! Let's just say that one didn't have the happiest ending ;) Anyway, I look forward to hearing about how yours turn out; we love 'em, all year long after packing them in olive oil.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562989307286675615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-67439184755070681252009-09-10T15:11:45.713-04:002009-09-10T15:11:45.713-04:00Cass,

Got the receipe from the old Better Homes cookbook (1960 edition), and I believe it calls for concorde grapes. Love your assistant, by the way, what a cutie.<br />ritadritadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714134948414450804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-76807117006873831122009-09-10T07:08:09.846-04:002009-09-10T07:08:09.846-04:00Yuuuuuuummm.
