Scoop out mounds of crab mixture with an ice cream scoop and place on prepared baking sheet.

Heat some oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add crab cakes and saute’ until golden brown and heated through, about 4 minutes per side.

Remove to paper towels and drain.

For the Lime Ginger Sauce

In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine grape juice, lime juice, vinegar, ginger and garlic.

Bring to a boil; reduce by 90 percent to a light syrup.

Add cream and reduce by 60 percent, stirring carefully so as not to scorch the sauce.

Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in the cold butter chunks.

Stir in chili sauce and season with pepper.
