Grapes and cheese are a match made in heaven—and these quick pickles from Anya Fernald take an already delightful pairing to another level. The Belcampo Meat Co. cofounder and CEO and author of the new cookbook Home Cooked jars juicy grapes with garlic and herbs for sweet-tart bites that take just minutes to assemble. Try them alongside charcuterie, scattered on salads, or as a cocktail garnish for a burst of tangy flavor—there's a bunch of possibilities.
