 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3      cups          seedless green grapes
    1      cup           sugar
    2                    egg yolks
    1                    egg
      1/2  cup           butter
    1      cup           flour
    2      teaspoons     rum flavoring -- or 2 tablespoons rum
      1/4  teaspoon      almond extract
    1      cup           milk
 
 Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
 Sprinkle the grapes with half the sugar, and let stand 30 minutes. For the
batter, in a bowl beat together the remaining sugar and egg yolks. Then beat in
the egg. While beating, gradually add the butter, then the flour. Finally, add
the rum flavoring, almond extract, and milk and beat until very smooth. May be
done in the food processor. 
 Pour 1/3 of the batter into a heavily buttered 8- or 9-inch baking dish or pie
pan. Spoon the grapes and their juice over the batter. Pour the remaining
batter over the grapes. Bake the tart on the lower rack of the oven for 40
minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. The texture should be soft and
nearly custardy. Cool slightly and serve from the pan in wedges or squares. May
be done several days in advance. Serve warm, heated, or at room temperature.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
