Sour Frozen Candy Grapes

Sour Frozen Candy Grapes

Sour Frozen Candy Grapes are a refreshing and tangy frozen snack that combines natural sweetness with a sour candy-like coating. Easy to prepare in minutes, these healthy treats use fresh seedless grapes coated in a mixture of citric acid, sugar, and lemon juice, then frozen to perfection. Perfect for a guilt-free indulgence on hot days or a flavorful ingredient in desserts and drinks.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups seedless grapes (fresh, firm)
  • 1/2 teaspoon citric acid
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon warm water (optional, for dissolving sugar and citric acid)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Grapes: Start by washing your seedless grapes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry completely to ensure the coating sticks properly in the next steps.
  2. Make the Sour Candy Coating: In a small bowl, dissolve citric acid and granulated sugar in a tablespoon of warm water. Stir until fully combined, then mix in the lemon juice for that fresh sour note.
  3. Coat the Grapes: Toss the dried grapes gently in the sugar and citric acid mixture until they are evenly coated. Make sure every grape has that shiny, tangy layer to maximize flavor.
  4. Freeze Until Firm: Spread the coated grapes in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray. Place them in the freezer for about 2-3 hours or until fully frozen solid.
  5. Enjoy or Store: Once frozen, your Sour Frozen Candy Grapes are ready to enjoy immediately or can be transferred to an airtight container for future snacking.

Notes

  • Choose firm grapes to prevent mushiness after freezing.
  • Dry grapes well to avoid diluting the coating and clumping in the freezer.
  • Freeze grapes spread out in a single layer to avoid sticking and ensure even freezing.
  • Adjust the amount of citric acid based on your preferred level of sourness.
  • Store cooled grapes in airtight containers to preserve freshness and prevent freezer burn.
