Wash the grapes and place them in a pot with the water.
Boil the grapes for 10 minutes until they burst and release their juice.
Pass the mixture through a sieve and return the grape juice to the pot.
Dissolve the cornmeal and starch with a little cold grape juice.
Add the dissolved starch to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring.
Divide the pepecura into bowls and chill for 2 hours.
Serve cold with chopped hazelnuts.
💡 Tip: Straining the grape juice removes skin sediment and keeps the pepecura glossy purple.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold in bowls with toasted hazelnut pieces or fresh grapes.
