One of life’s great pleasures…burrata, defined as “buttered” in Italian.  When Greg and I traveled to Italy in 2018, we fell in love with fresh, simple burrata served so many ways.  The outside is firm, the inside is delicious and creamy.  Burrata is so basic and can easily be paired with a variety of flavors including but not limited to, citrus, spicy, and in this recipe, sweet grapes blistered and bursting with flavor.  This recipe is so easy, yet so fabulously impressive!  Enjoy!

Instructions

Tiffy’s Tips 

~For testing purposes, I tried both red and green grapes and my family loved both!

~Use bamboo picks as they are flat and easily hold the grapes when grilling.  

~If you cannot find burrata, substitute balls of mozzarella.  

~I have tested this recipe marinating for 6 hours and as long as 24 hours.
