Blue Cheese-Pistachio Grapes

Seedless red or green grapes are wrapped in a mixture of cream cheese, blue cheese, and a little wine (if you wish), then rolled in finely chopped nuts and chilled slightly.
Ingredients:

• 1 3-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
• 2 oz. blue cheese, crumbled
• 2 tsp. port wine (optional)
• 1/3 cup finely chopped pistachio nuts, pecans, or almonds
• 1 large bunch seedless red or green grapes (40 to 60 grapes)

Method:

In a small bowl combine cream cheese, blue cheese and port wine, if using. Wrap a little of the cheese mixture around each grape. Roll grapes in chopped nuts. Cover and chill grapes for 30 to 60 minutes, or until serving time.
Notes:

These are so quick and yummy.


Number of servings: 10 to 15 servings (about 4 grapes per serving)
