Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 pounds seedless green or red grapes, washed and dried
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 (3 ounce) box flavored gelatin powder (strawberry, lime, blue raspberry, or cherry)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent the grapes from sticking after coating.
- Wash and dry the grapes: Remove grapes from their stems, wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue, and then dry completely using paper towels. Dry grapes ensure the sugar and gelatin mixture will stick properly.
- Coat grapes with lemon juice: Place the dry grapes in a large bowl and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Toss gently to coat evenly, which adds a subtle tartness and helps the sugar mixture adhere.
- Mix sugar and gelatin: In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the flavored gelatin powder. Stir well until the mixture is uniformly mixed.
- Coat grapes with sugar mixture: Add the lemon-coated grapes into the sugar and gelatin mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat each grape on all sides with the sweet candy coating.
- Arrange grapes for freezing: Spread the coated grapes in a single layer on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring grapes do not touch each other to avoid clumping.
- Freeze grapes: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until grapes are completely frozen to achieve the best flavor and texture.
- Serve: Enjoy the frozen candy grapes straight from the freezer for a refreshing, sweet snack.
Notes
- Make sure grapes are completely dry before coating to ensure the sugar and gelatin mixture sticks properly.
- Experiment with mixing different gelatin flavors to create a colorful variety of frozen grapes.
- Store leftover frozen candy grapes in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
