Ingredients
- 4 cups green grapes (cleaned)
- 1 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener (granulated)
- 2 limes (juiced)
- 2–3 tsp citric acid (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the grapes: Cover a large baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Clean the green grapes thoroughly to remove any dirt or residues.
- Juice the limes and coat grapes: Place the cleaned grapes in a large bowl and add the juice from 2 fresh limes. Stir well using a spoon to ensure all grapes are coated evenly, then refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Prepare the sweetener mix: In a medium bowl, combine the granulated monk fruit sweetener with 2 to 3 teaspoons of citric acid, adjusting the amount of citric acid to your preferred tartness. This mixture will create the candy coating.
- Coat grapes with sweetener mixture: Remove the grapes from the fridge and roll each grape individually in the monk fruit sweetener and citric acid mixture, ensuring every grape is fully coated for maximum flavor and texture.
- Freeze the grapes: Place the coated grapes in a single layer on the parchment-lined baking dish to avoid sticking together. Freeze for 2 to 3 hours until fully frozen and candied-like in texture.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of citric acid or omit it based on your taste preference for tartness.
- Use fresh, firm grapes for best results and texture after freezing.
- Monk fruit sweetener is a diabetic-friendly natural sweetener alternative that helps keep the sugar content low.
- For a variation, try using red grapes or other small fruit like blueberries.
- Store frozen candied grapes in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
