is a fine seasonal accompaniment for robust cheeses
like Boerenkaas or mild-flavored roast fish like cod.

1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground clove
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:
In a 4-quart saucepan, cook grapes and water
over medium heat until the grapes release their juice.
