  1. In a wide-mouthed jar with a lid, place whipping cream and sour cream; cover securely and shake 15 seconds.

  6. Stir thickened crème fraiche (pronounced, cream fresh)well.

  9. Scoop in enough cream to cover well. (I used all of it)
  10. Gently fold grapes into cream mixture until grapes are covered.
  11. Scoop into dessert glasses and refrigerate for one hour or until needed, or serve immediately.
