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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
