Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups firm, tart green grapes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Dash of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Grapes: Wash the green grapes thoroughly and remove any stems or bruised fruit to ensure every bite is fresh and clean.
  2. Create the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine fresh lemon juice, honey or your preferred sweetener, a small pinch of sea salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper if using. Stir until everything is well blended.
  3. Toss the Grapes: Add the washed grapes to the marinade and gently toss to coat each grape evenly with the zesty mixture.
  4. Freeze: Spread the coated grapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are not touching to avoid clumping. Place the tray in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours or until fully frozen.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen solid, transfer the sour frozen candy grapes to an airtight container or serve directly as a bite-sized icy treat.

Notes

  • Choose Firm Grapes: Firmer grapes freeze better and maintain a satisfying texture when eaten frozen.
  • Pat Dry Before Freezing: Make sure grapes are dry after marinating to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  • Don’t Skip the Salt: A pinch of salt boosts flavor by balancing sourness and sweetness perfectly.
  • Single Layer Freezing: Freeze grapes in a single layer first to keep them from sticking together.
  • Experiment with Spices: Slightly reducing the heat or sweetness lets you customize your sour candy grapes for every preference.
