Ingredients
Grapes
- 1 bunch of green grapes, removed from stems, washed and dried
Citrus & Sweeteners
- 3 limes, juiced
- 2 tablespoons white sugar, divided
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Tajin seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the grapes: Place the grapes into a large bowl. Juice the limes over the grapes and stir gently to combine, ensuring the grapes are well coated. Let them soak in the lime juice for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb flavor.
- Make the sweet grape batch: Transfer half of the lime-soaked grapes into a separate bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and toss to evenly coat the grapes. Spread these grapes in a single layer onto one half of a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Make the savory grape batch: Place the remaining half of the grapes back into the now-empty bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and the 1 tablespoon of Tajin seasoning. Toss well to evenly distribute the sugar and seasoning. Spread these grapes evenly on the other half of the same parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the grapes: Place the baking sheet into the freezer for 2 to 3 hours, or until the grapes are completely frozen.
- Store and serve: Once frozen, transfer the grapes into an airtight container and store in the freezer. Take out as desired for a refreshing sweet or savory frozen fruit snack.
Notes
- Use seedless green grapes for optimal sweetness and ease of eating.
- Make sure grapes are fully dry before soaking to help the lime juice and seasonings adhere better.
- The Tajin seasoning adds a spicy, tangy kick but can be adjusted or omitted according to preference.
- Frozen grapes are best enjoyed within 1-2 weeks for freshness and texture.
