Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups seedless grapes, washed and dried
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon citric acid (optional, for extra sourness)
Instructions
- Coat the grapes: In a medium bowl, toss the grapes thoroughly with lemon juice until each grape is evenly coated, ensuring the sour flavor adheres well.
- Add sugar and citric acid: Sprinkle the granulated sugar and optional citric acid over the lemon-coated grapes. Toss again gently to coat all sides of the grapes with the sugary, tangy mixture.
- Arrange for freezing: Spread the coated grapes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow even freezing.
- Freeze the grapes: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the grapes are completely frozen solid.
- Store and serve: Transfer the frozen grapes into a freezer-safe bag or container for storage. Serve directly from the freezer to maintain their icy texture as a refreshing frozen snack.
Notes
- For added flavor and visual appeal, use a mixture of red and green grapes.
- Citric acid is optional but enhances the authentic sour candy flavor.
- Do not thaw the grapes before eating to keep their crisp, icy texture intact.
