Questions I often get asked about this recipe:
Can I use other fruits instead of grapes?
While this recipe is specifically designed for grapes, you can experiment with other fruits such as strawberries or chunks of pineapple. Just make sure the fruit is bite-sized and can be skewered easily.
How long do Frozen Candy Grapes last in the freezer?
Frozen Candy Grapes can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. However, they are best enjoyed fresh.
Can I use a different type of sweetener instead of granulated sugar?
Yes, you can substitute honey or maple syrup for the granulated sugar if you prefer. Just be aware that this may alter the flavor slightly.
Can I skip the step of coating the grapes in sugar syrup?
The sugar syrup helps to create a thin, icy coating on the grapes, giving them a sweet crunch. However, if you prefer a lighter coating, you can skip this step or reduce the amount of sugar used.
What you need to make Frozen Candy Grapes:
Ingredients:
1 pound of seedless grapes (any variety)
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of water
How to make it:
Instructions:
Prepare the Grapes: Wash the grapes under cold water and thoroughly dry them with paper towels. It’s essential to ensure the grapes are completely dry before proceeding.
Make the Sugar Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Once dissolved, remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Coat the Grapes: After the sugar syrup has cooled, place the grapes in a mixing bowl. Pour the syrup over the grapes and gently toss them until evenly coated.
Freeze the Grapes: Spread the coated grapes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Ensure the grapes are not touching each other to prevent them from sticking together. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours or until the grapes are completely frozen.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the grapes are frozen, remove them from the freezer and transfer them to a serving dish. Serve immediately and relish the crisp, icy sweetness of Frozen Candy Grapes!
Tips:
Choose Firm, Ripe Grapes:
Opt for firm, ripe grapes for the best results. Avoid grapes that are overly soft or mushy.
Thoroughly Dry Grapes:
Ensure the grapes are completely dry before coating them with the sugar syrup. Excess moisture can prevent the syrup from adhering properly.
Spread Evenly on Baking Sheet:
When freezing the coated grapes, spread them out evenly on the baking sheet to prevent clumping and ensure even freezing.
Serve Chilled:
Frozen Candy Grapes are best served immediately after freezing. Leaving them at room temperature for too long may cause them to become sticky.
