What type of grapes work best?

Seedless red or green grapes are ideal because they are easy to coat and bite-sized for enjoying frozen.

Can I use flavored sugars for coating?

Yes, flavored sugars like vanilla or orange zest varieties enhance the flavor and add a unique twist to the coating.

Freeze the coated grapes for at least 2 hours to ensure they are firm and frosty before serving.

Fresh lime juice can substitute lemon juice to provide a different citrus brightness to the coating.

Serve frozen grapes on skewers for easy handling and a festive presentation at parties.

A refreshing, sweet, and crunchy snack featuring grapes coated in a festive sugar topping—perfect for parties or a healthy dessert.

This is a quick and easy treat I first served at our holiday gathering, and it was an instant hit with family and friends.

Fruit: 500 g (about 1 lb) seedless grapes (red or green), washed and thoroughly dried
Coating: 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed), 60 g (1/3 cup) granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional for a festive touch), 1 tbsp colored decorating sugar or edible glitter (optional for decoration)

Step 1:: Remove grapes from stems. Wash thoroughly, pat completely dry with paper towels.
Step 2:: Place grapes in a large bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to coat evenly.
Step 3:: In a shallow dish, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon (if using).
Step 4:: Roll each grape in the sugar mixture until well coated. For extra festivity, sprinkle with colored sugar or edible glitter.
Step 5:: Arrange grapes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6:: Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until grapes are firm and frosty.
Step 7:: Serve immediately from the freezer for best texture.

My family loves gathering around the kitchen counter making these treats together each holiday season.

Serve on skewers for a fun party presentation. Pairs well with sparkling wine or festive cocktails.
