What on earth can I do with these thick-skinned grapes?

[allnaturalmom]

I've got a large bag of organic, red, seedless grapes at the store the other day. When we went to eat them, we found that while they were very sweet and great-tasting, the skins were thick and tough. Like leather.

These are not kid friendly. I can't peel all of them, so what can I do with them?

Any ideas? TIA!

What is the best way to do this w/o a juicer? Is it still do-able?

Throw them in the blender and liquefy, then strain through a really fine strainer or a cheesecloth.

wash and freeze them and add them to smoothies

we used to eat those when I was a kid.... we never ate the skins, we would sort of bite the end to open it and squeeze the inside of the grape into our mouth and discard the skin.

I would freeze them and then eat them straight out of the freezer. The thick skins usually taste fine like that.

Thanks for the great ideas! They will definitely get used up now!

I've seen things done with roasted grapes, you could try that out. I most often see them cooked with meats like chicken, but sometimes as part of a salad and plain with greek yogurt or some dip or cheese sounds tasty too.
