Roasted Red Grapes with Mascarpone and Rum

By Muzungu

Ingredients

• 1 lb. seedless red grapes, left on the stems and cut into small clusters
• 4 tsp. honey
• 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. flaky sea salt
• 1/2 cup mascarpone
• 1-1/2 Tbs. regular or spiced dark rum
• 1 tsp. finely grated orange zest

Preparation

Step 1

Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 475°F.

In a large bowl, gently toss the grape clusters, 2 tsp. of the honey, the oil, and the salt. Spread the grapes on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer and roast, flipping halfway through, until collapsed, juicy, and somewhat caramelized, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, stir together the mascarpone, rum, zest, and remaining 2 tsp. honey in a medium bowl.

Transfer the roasted grapes to serving dishes and serve warm, with a dollop of the sweetened mascarpone.
