Description

Sugar coated grapes are a sweet, crunchy snack made with fresh grapes and a simple sugar coating. Perfect for parties, kids, or a refreshing chilled treat.

Ingredients 

  • 1 lb Grapes, 500 g, red & green
  • ¾ cup Water, 200 ml, plus 1 tbsp
  • 1 ¼ cups Sugar, 250 g, plus extra for coating

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, combine the water and 1 ¼ cups (250 g) of sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves and a simple syrup forms.
  • Remove the syrup from the heat. Dip the grapes into the syrup until they are well-coated.
  • Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the coated grapes onto a wire rack.
  • Allow the grapes to dry for about 30 minutes. This creates a tacky surface for the sugar to adhere to.
  • Roll the tacky grapes in the extra sugar until they are fully and evenly coated.
  • Place the grapes in the refrigerator and chill until the coating is set and firm.

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Slotted Spoon
