Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups seedless grapes
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon citric acid (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by washing the seedless grapes thoroughly under cold running water. Ensure that all dirt and impurities are removed. Once washed, pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Stir the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved. This will create a sweet and tangy syrup that will coat the grapes.
- If you are using citric acid for an extra sour kick, add it to the sugar and lemon juice mixture. Stir well to ensure it is evenly distributed.
- Add the cleaned grapes to the bowl with the syrup. Gently toss the grapes in the mixture until they are fully coated. Be careful not to crush the grapes while mixing.
- Once the grapes are well coated, transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure even freezing.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the grapes to freeze for at least 2 hours, or until they are solidly frozen.
- After the grapes are frozen, remove them from the freezer. You can serve them immediately as a refreshing and healthy sour candy treat.
- Store any leftover frozen grapes in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Enjoy your Healthy Sour Candy Frozen Grapes as a guilt-free snack!
