Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Seedless grapes: 2 cups, firm and fresh
- Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
- Citric acid (optional): 1/4 teaspoon
- Granulated sugar or sweetener of choice: 2 tablespoons
- Water: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Wash and Prepare the Grapes: Rinse the seedless grapes thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry completely. Ensuring the grapes are dry helps the glaze stick properly.
- Make the Sour Candy Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, water, sugar, and optional citric acid. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely to form a tangy syrup.
- Coat the Grapes: Place the grapes in a large mixing bowl and pour the sour candy glaze over them. Toss gently to ensure every grape is evenly coated with the tangy mixture without bruising.
- Freeze the Grapes: Arrange the coated grapes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours until they become completely firm and icy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, transfer the sour frozen candy grapes to a sealed container to keep them fresh. Enjoy a handful anytime as a cool, sour, candy-like treat.
Notes
- Pick firm, freshly picked seedless grapes for best freezing results and taste.
- Dry grapes thoroughly before coating to help the glaze adhere better.
- Toss grapes gently to avoid bruising or crushing during coating.
- Freeze grapes in a single layer on parchment paper to prevent clumping.
- Adjust the tartness by starting with less lemon juice and adding more lemon or citric acid to taste.
