Ingredients

  • 2 lb seedless red grapes, stems removed
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 (16-oz) French baguette

  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss together grapes, honey, 1 Tbsp oil, and butter on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until grapes release their juice; cool completely.

  3. Beat mascarpone cheese, reserved vanilla bean seeds, and brown sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until blended. Add cream; beat until smooth and fluffy. Chill up to 3 days.
