Description
Cool Homemade Frozen Candied Grapes offer sweet refreshment with minimal effort. Grape clusters dipped in sugar syrup and frozen create delightful summer treats for you to enjoy quickly.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (946 ml) green grapes, cleaned
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated monk fruit sweetener
- 2 limes, juiced
- 2–3 teaspoons (10–15 ml) citric acid (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Thoroughly rinse grapes under cool water, removing any potential debris, then gently pat dry with paper towels to ensure optimal sugar adherence.
- Flavor Infusion: Drizzle lime juice over grapes, rolling them to create a complete citrus coating, then allow to rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to enhance flavor penetration.
- Coating Creation: Blend monk fruit sweetener and citric acid in a mixing bowl, creating a uniform crystalline mixture for grape coating.
- Sugar Transformation: Carefully tumble lime-coated grapes in the sweetener blend, ensuring each grape receives an even, sparkling exterior.
- Freezing Setup: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spreading the coated grapes in a single layer without touching to prevent clumping.
- Final Preservation: Freeze for 2-3 hours until grapes develop a crisp, frosty texture, then transfer to an airtight container or serve immediately as a delightful, guilt-free refreshment.
Notes
- Grape Selection: Choose fresh, firm grapes without blemishes for the best texture and taste.
- Drying Technique: Thoroughly pat grapes dry to ensure sugar coating sticks perfectly and creates a crisp exterior.
- Citrus Boost: Lime juice adds a tangy kick and helps the sugar mixture adhere more effectively to grape surfaces.
- Freezing Precision: Space grapes individually on parchment paper to prevent clumping and create individually coated frozen treats.
