Ingredients
For the Grapes:
- 1.5 cups red seedless grapes
- pinch of salt
- drizzle of olive oil

- 1 tablespoon plain yogurt — any

Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400F. In a small baking dish add the grapes, pinch of salt, drizzle of olive oil, drizzle of Apple syrup, and a sprig of thyme.
- Cover it and bake until the grapes are oozing and nice and soft, mine took 30 minutes. In a food processor add the feta, drizzle of olive oil, oranges, plain yogurt, a drizzle of apple syrup and process until frothy for 1-2 minutes.
- You can always open and scrape it down and process again. Add the whipped feta to a plate and top it off with your caramelized grapes. Enjoy with any fresh bread or even crostini.

Notes
Please note: I like creamy Macedonian style feta in here more because it’s less salty and very creamy but any that you love will work.
