Description
A simple recipe for sweet and tart frozen grapes coated in a crunchy candy shell.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups seedless sour grapes
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, for stability)
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the grapes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid, at least 2 hours.
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. If using, add the cream of tartar.
- Heat the sugar mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Bring the syrup to a boil without stirring. Cook until it reaches the hard crack stage (300-310°F or 150-155°C on a candy thermometer).
- Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Working quickly, dip each frozen grape into the hot syrup using a fork or skewer, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Place the coated grapes back on the parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
- Allow the grapes to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Ensure grapes are completely dry before coating for best results.
- Have your frozen grapes ready before the syrup reaches temperature.
- If the syrup hardens in the pan, you can gently reheat it.
