Portuguese wine is well known for it´s good quality.
Although we don´t produce big quantities, we have unique wines such as "Vinho do Porto".
Traditionally, September is the month of grapes in Portugal. It´s in this time of the year that most Portuguese farmers collect grapes and taste the new wine.
My hometown is in a region that produces good wine, specially "Moscatel".
The picture above shows my favorite type of grapes, they´re called "Uva D. Maria" and they´re very sweet.
So, grapes are the Portuguese fruit of the season I picked for today´s post.
Hope to be back soon :)

I like your new site! Glad to hear from you. I love grapes!
I want to give you a quick recipe for Grape Salad. I took this to my book signing yesterday and it was a really big hit.
Mix:
Grapes
Pineapple chunks
coconut, chunks or shredded
1 can of frozen pina colada
Mix together and enjoy!
I love grapes, especially when they are seedless.
How are you Mize? I hope all is well. Glad to know that you signed up already. ;)
Hello
I have a question about something I ate in Portugal ten years ago - somewhere in the middle of the country. A sweet, with a papery sort of "pastry", and a yellow sweet custardy thing inside. It looked rather like an egg yolk in some kind of membrane! Does this sound like anything you know?
Thanks for any help!
Hello Ladies :)

So, you like my template change, thanks! It´s a free theme but serves me well.
I like grapes too! D. Maria are by far the best ones I tried.

Hello Mac,
Thanks for your visit and for sharing your recipe.
Never tried grapes that way but it sounds great. We enjoy fruit salads a lot and once I love pineapple and fresh coconut I´m sure that mixture is yummy.
Regards :)
Hi Liz,
I´m well, thanks!
Lately, I haven´t cooked much so things here have been slow...
I also prefer seedless and peeled grapes but I can only find them like that canned.
Yeap, I finally found time to join. I´m waiting them to review my simple blog.
Hugs xx
