Grape spoon sweet (stafyli glyko)

Grape spoon sweet (stafyli glyko)

Ingredients:
1 kg of seedless grapes 
1 kg of sugar 
2 cups of water 
2 tablespoons of lemon juice 
2 cinnamon sticks 
Powdered vanilla or a sprig of ginger for garnish

Preparations:
We wash the grapes thoroughly and we drain them in a strainer.  We boil the water and sugar in a saucepan for 4 minutes.  Then we add the grapes and cook for another 10 minutes.  We turn off the heat and let the mixture rest for 4 hours.  We turn the heat back on and simmer until the syrup thickens.  We add the lemon juice, stir and remove from the heat.  We take a spoonful and let it cool on a plate to sample.  The mixture is ready when it becomes a viscous syrup with a nice, even honey colour.

While it is still hot, we transfer the sweet to sterilized jars, we place the cap on tightly and turn upside down for few minutes.

Itadakimasu!
