Frozen candied grapes, sour dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 kg Green Grapes
  • 200 grams Granulated Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Citric Acid Powder
  • 50 ml Water
  • 100 grams Granulated Sugar (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon Citric Acid Powder (for coating)

Instructions

  • Gently remove grapes from their stems, being careful not to tear the skin. Rinse them thoroughly under cool water to remove any dirt or residue. Ensure the grapes are completely dry before moving to the next step by patting them dry with a clean kitchen towel or letting them air dry on a paper towel-lined baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes. While drying, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a medium bowl, combine 200 grams of granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons of citric acid powder. Stir these together well. In a separate, small bowl, have 50 ml of water ready. Dip a single dry grape briefly into the water to lightly moisten the surface. Immediately transfer the damp grape to the sugar and citric acid mixture, rolling it gently to coat evenly. Place the coated grape onto your prepared baking sheet, ensuring there’s a little space between each grape. Repeat this process with all grapes.
  • Carefully transfer the baking sheet to your freezer. Ensure the sheet is level. Allow them to freeze solid for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight, for a satisfying icy crunch and for the initial sugar coating to set.
  • In a shallow dish or a wide, flat bowl, combine 100 grams of granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of citric acid powder reserved for the coating. Use a fork or a small whisk to mix these two ingredients together thoroughly, ensuring an even distribution of the citric acid. You can taste a tiny pinch to adjust the sourness to your liking.
  • Once your grapes are completely frozen and firm, take a handful of the frozen grapes and gently toss them directly into the prepared sour candy coating mixture. Work in small batches to ensure each grape gets adequately coated. Using a spoon or your clean hands, gently roll and toss the grapes in the sugar-citric acid mixture until they are beautifully and thoroughly coated. Immediately transfer the coated grapes back to your parchment-lined baking sheet or directly into a freezer-safe container for storage. Repeat this process with the remaining frozen grapes, working quickly so they don’t thaw too much. Serve immediately for the best icy, tangy experience!
