Ingredients
- 4 cups green grapes, cleaned
- 1 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener (granulated)
- 2 limes, juiced
- 2–3 tsp citric acid (optional, or more to taste)
Instructions
- 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.
- Mix grapes with lime juice: Place the cleaned grapes into a large bowl and add the juice of 2 limes. Stir them together to coat the grapes evenly, then cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Prepare the sweetener mixture: In a medium bowl, mix the granulated monk fruit sweetener with the optional citric acid, adjusting the amount to taste. This mixture will give the grapes their candied coating and a slight tartness.
- Coat the grapes: Remove the grapes from the fridge and, one by one, roll each grape thoroughly in the monk fruit sweetener and citric acid mixture, ensuring every grape is fully coated.
- Freeze the grapes: Place the coated grapes on the prepared parchment-lined baking dish in a single layer. Transfer the dish to the freezer and freeze the grapes for 2-3 hours until they are fully frozen and candied.
Notes
- If you prefer a sweeter treat, adjust the monk fruit sweetener quantity to taste before coating.
- The citric acid is optional but adds a pleasant tartness; use more or less depending on your preference.
- Use green grapes for the best texture and flavor, but red or black grapes can be substituted if desired.
- Store leftover frozen candied grapes in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
- Optionally, you can add a pinch of sea salt to the sweetener for a sweet-salty contrast.
