Author Notes
This recipe was inspired by the gorgeous grapes we harvested from our neighbor’s trellis. Living in an older neighborhood we are surrounded by fruit bearing trees & vines- many of them planted over 100 years ago by the original settlers in our town. We hate to see food go to waste, so you will regularly find hubby & I gleaning fruit from properties all across our neighborhood- making use of produce that would have otherwise ended up rotting. The grapes that grow across the street from our house are probably the best grapes ever. While they are delicious just eaten simply out of hand, Molly Yeh inspired me to use the grapes in a different way this summer- hence the halva and grape galette was born. —bella | ful-filled
