Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup seedless grapes (green or red, firm and fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Grapes: Wash the seedless grapes thoroughly and dry them completely with paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth to ensure the caramel sticks well.
  2. Make the Caramel Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until it dissolves and starts bubbling. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while mixing continuously, then simmer the sauce for 4 to 5 minutes until it thickens. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  3. Coat the Grapes: Using a fork or skewer, dip each grape into the warm caramel sauce, ensuring it’s fully coated. Lift and let excess caramel drip off before placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
  4. Let Them Cool and Set: Allow the caramel apple grapes to cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or place them in the fridge to speed up the setting process, allowing the caramel to firm up perfectly around each grape.

Notes

  • Dry Grapes Are Key: Make sure grapes are completely dry to help caramel stick without sliding off.
  • Don’t Overcook Caramel: Watch the caramel carefully and remove it from heat as soon as it thickens to avoid burning or hardening.
  • Use Warm Caramel: Dipping grapes while the caramel is warm ensures even and smooth coating.
  • Work Quickly: Caramel sets fast, so coat grapes efficiently before the sauce hardens.
  • Storage Matters: Store caramel apple grapes in a single layer to prevent sticking and keep the coating intact.
