  • 4 egg yolks
  • ¾ cup (175 mL) granulated sugar, divided
  • 3 cups (750 mL) milk
  • 2 lbs (1 kg) seedless red grapes
  • 1 cup (250 mL) white grape juice
  1. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks with 6 tbsp (90 mL) sugar until thickened and pale yellow. Set aside
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, heat milk until bubbles appear around the edge. Gradually whisk into egg mixture, stirring constantly.

Strain into a clean large bowl. Let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until completely cold or overnight.
  4. Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan over medium-low heat, cook grapes, juice and remaining sugar, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thickened. Let cool.
