Ingredients

  • 4 cups green grapes, cleaned
  • 1 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener (granulated)
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2-3 teaspoons citric acid (optional, for extra tartness)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cover a large baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Clean and rinse the grapes thoroughly.
  2. Step 2: Place the grapes in a large bowl and pour the lime juice over them. Stir gently to coat the grapes evenly, then refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, combine the Monk Fruit Sweetener and optional citric acid. Mix well to evenly distribute the citric acid.
  4. Step 4: Remove the grapes from the refrigerator. Roll each grape individually in the sweetener mixture until fully coated.
  5. Step 5: Arrange the coated grapes in a single layer on the prepared baking dish. Freeze for 2 to 3 hours until firm.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, try using a mix of green and red grapes.
  • If you don’t have citric acid, a small splash of lemon juice can add a similar tartness.
  • Store the grapes in a single layer on parchment to prevent clumping before freezing.

Storage

Store any leftover frozen candied grapes in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To serve, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, or enjoy them straight from the freezer for a cool, refreshing treat.

How to Serve

A white bowl is filled with many small, round green grapes covered evenly in a sparkling layer of coarse white sugar crystals, which gives them a frosted look. The grapes are tightly packed and show their smooth skins beneath the sugar, with the sugar clustering more thickly in some spots. The bowl rests on a white marbled surface that softly reflects light, adding a clean and fresh feel to the image. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other types of sweeteners instead of Monk Fruit Sweetener?

Yes, you can substitute with granulated sugar, erythritol, or another granulated sweetener of your choice, but adjust the quantity to your preferred sweetness level.

Do I need to wash the grapes before coating them?

Absolutely. Washing the grapes removes any residue or pesticides and helps the lime juice stick better before coating with the sweetener.

  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 23 tsp citric acid (optional, or more to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking dish and grapes: Cover a large baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Thoroughly clean the green grapes by rinsing them under cold water.
