A 'Grape' Salad

Are you familiar with this salad? It tastes 'grape'! Aunt Erma gave us this recipe several years ago and we have enjoyed the dish many times. It's always popular to carry-in to a potluck or group meal and it feeds a lot of people. Easy to prepare, it's a refreshing salad that is perfect for summer. Right now grapes are so sweet and tasty. Maybe you'd like to try this for your Labor Day weekend.
Here is an individual serving.



Grape Salad
1    (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1    cup sour cream
1/3 cup sugar
2     teaspoons vanilla extract
2     pounds green seedless grapes
2     pounds red seedless grapes
3     tablespoons brown sugar
3     tablespoons chopped pecans
Cream together softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Add grapes  (which have been washed and allowed to dry on towels) and toss to coat. Just before serving, remove from refrigerator and sprinkle brown sugar and pecans on top.
This recipe is said to serve up to 20. It can easily be halved for fewer people.
