Frozen Candied Grapes (Print version)

Sweet-tart frozen grapes coated with lime, sweetener, and citric acid for a crisp candy-style freezer snack.

# Ingredients:

For the grapes

01 - 4 cups (600 g) seedless green grapes, washed, stemmed, and dried well
02 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
03 - 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest, optional

For the coating

04 - 3/4 cup (145 g) granulated monk fruit sweetener or granulated sugar
05 - 2 teaspoons citric acid, or 1 1/2 teaspoons for a milder coating

# Instructions:

01 - Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure the tray fits flat in your freezer.
02 - Rinse the grapes, remove the stems, and pat them very dry with a clean towel. Dry grapes make the coating cleaner and less slushy.
03 - Add the grapes to a large bowl. Toss with lime juice and lime zest until the grapes are lightly glossy, then drain away any pooled juice.
04 - In a shallow bowl, stir the monk fruit sweetener and citric acid until evenly combined.
05 - Roll the grapes in the sweetener mixture a few at a time. Set them on the prepared tray in a single layer so they are not touching.
06 - Freeze for 2-3 hours, until firm. Serve straight from the freezer or transfer to an airtight container once fully frozen.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served directly from the freezer.
02 - Slice grapes lengthwise before freezing if serving young children.
03 - Use firm seedless grapes for the cleanest bite.
