“Eh,” replies The Husband. “Grapes are so boring. Wouldn’t the crisp be tastier made with raspberries or blueberries?” I calmly note that grapes turn into a whole different fruit when they’re cooked, much more intensely flavorful than in their raw state. Also, fall is grape season, which isn’t true of blueberries and raspberries. Best of all, the grapes in this dessert require no prep — no peeling or coring or slicing. Just a quick rinse and they’re good to go.
