Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups seedless grapes, washed and dried
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon citric acid (or lemon juice)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon flavored gelatin powder (for extra flavor and color)
Instructions
- Place the washed and dried grapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are in a single layer and not touching.
- Freeze the grapes for at least 2-3 hours, or until solid.
- In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, citric acid, and optional gelatin powder.
- Once the grapes are frozen solid, remove them from the freezer.
- Working quickly, add a few frozen grapes at a time to the bowl with the sugar mixture. Toss gently to coat them evenly.
- Return the coated grapes to the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze again for at least 30 minutes to set the coating.
- Serve the Sour Patch Frozen Grapes immediately.
Notes
- Citric acid provides the signature sour punch. If you don’t have it, lemon juice can be used, but the sourness will be less intense.
- For different flavors, experiment with different colored and flavored gelatin powders.
- Make sure grapes are completely dry before freezing to prevent ice crystals.
