Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups seedless grapes (green or red)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 small box (3 ounces) flavored gelatin mix (any flavor, such as strawberry, cherry, or lime)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Grapes: Rinse the grapes thoroughly and remove them from the stems. Pat them dry completely using paper towels to ensure the gelatin coating sticks well.
- Moisten the Grapes: Pour water into a shallow bowl. Quickly dip each grape into the water and shake off any excess to lightly moisten the surface.
- Mix Gelatin Coating: In a separate shallow dish, combine the flavored gelatin powder and granulated sugar if using, mixing evenly.
- Coat the Grapes: Roll the damp grapes in the gelatin mixture until each grape is fully coated with the flavored powder.
- Set the Coating: Place the coated grapes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
- Chill: Refrigerate the grapes for at least 1 hour to allow the coating to set and the grapes to chill before serving.
Notes
- Experiment with different flavored gelatin powders to create a colorful and varied mix.
- For a refreshing frozen treat, freeze the coated grapes for 1–2 hours before serving.
- Best served cold for optimal taste and texture.
