Ingredients

  • 4 cups green grapes (cleaned)
  • 1 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener (granulated)
  • 2 limes (juiced)
  • 2-3 tsp citric acid (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cover a large baking dish with parchment paper and clean the grapes thoroughly.
  2. Step 2: Place the cleaned grapes in a large bowl and add the juice from 2 limes. Mix well with a spoon and let them sit in the fridge for 10 minutes to absorb the flavor.
  3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine the Monk Fruit sweetener and citric acid (if using).
  4. Step 4: Remove the grapes from the fridge and roll each grape in the sweetener mixture, ensuring each one is completely coated.
  5. Step 5: Arrange the coated grapes on the parchment-lined baking dish and freeze for 2-3 hours until firm.

Tips & Variations

  • Use red or black grapes for a colorful variation with a slightly different flavor profile.
  • If you prefer sweeter grapes, increase the Monk Fruit sweetener slightly or add a touch of honey before freezing.
  • Citric acid adds extra tanginess and helps preserve the grapes, but you can omit it if you prefer a milder taste.

Storage

Store the frozen candied grapes in an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. They will keep well for up to 1 month. For best texture and flavor, eat them straight from the freezer or let them soften for a few minutes at room temperature before serving.

FAQs

Can I use fresh lemon juice instead of lime juice?
