  3               cups  sugar
  2               cups  champagne vinegar
  8             sticks  cinnamon -- 2 1/2-3-inch each

  8                     canning jars -- very clean 1/2-pint

Preparation:

In a saucepan bring sugar, vinegar and cinnamon to a boil, stirring well. Simmer the mixture 5 minutes. Take the mixture off the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Place the grapes in the jars. Place one cinnamon stick in each of the jars. Pour the syrup over the grapes in the jars. Close the lid and let stand over night. Store the grapes in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Variation: Use seedless green grapes in place of the red flame variety. Wrap jars in brown paper bags or with a cloth to minimize discoloration. Makes 8 1/2 pint jars.
