Candy Grapes Recipe (Jello Grapes)
Description
This recipe transforms fresh grapes into a frozen snack coated with flavored gelatin. After removing grapes from their stems and washing, each grape is skewered on a toothpick, dipped briefly in water, then rolled in one of several gelatin flavors, such as raspberry, lime, lemon, or grape. The coating sticks due to the water and gelatin powder combination.
The grapes are placed on parchment paper and frozen at least an hour until the gelatin sets solid and the grapes are fully chilled. This results in a crisp, sweet outer layer encasing the juicy grape, offering a unique texture combination and sweet-tart flavor from the gelatin.
The recipe mentions an alternative "Sour Patch Grapes" version using Jolly Rancher gelatin for added sourness and color variety. Candy grapes make a colorful frozen treat for warm weather or party snacks.
Ingredients
- 1 lb grapes
- 1 box raspberry jello
- 1 box berry blue gelatin mix
- 1 box orange gelatin mix
- 1 box lime gelatin mix
- 1 box lemon gelatin mix
- 1 box grape jello
Instructions
- Begin by taking grapes off the stem and washing them thoroughly in a colander.
- Place one cup of water in a small dish and place each jello flavor in a small dish or on a paper plate.
- Place one grape on the end of a toothpick, dip it in the water, and then put it in jello.
- Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and line the grapes up by flavor.
- Place in the freezer for at least an hour or until the grapes are frozen.
Notes
- For a sour variation, use Jolly Rancher gelatin flavors instead of regular Jello to create sour patch grapes.
- Choose multiple gelatin flavors and colors for a fun, colorful presentation.
