Ingredients:
1 pound organic red grapes
1/3 cup olive oil
3 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. fresh thyme
1 clove garlic crushed
Pinch of Real Salt

Directions:
Wash grapes and allow to dry
In a medium mixing bowl combine olive oil, vinegar, thyme, garlic and salt and whisk together. Add grapes {attached to the stems) and toss lightly until coated. Let sit for 15 minutes or more.
Turn grill on to medium heat
Using tongs, place the grapes on the center of a hot grill. Grill for 30 seconds. Turn and grill for another 30 seconds.
