Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound seedless green or red grapes, washed and thoroughly dried
- 1 (3-ounce) box flavored gelatin powder (any flavor)
- 1/4 cup water
- Toothpicks or skewers for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Grapes: Remove grapes from stems, rinse them well, and pat completely dry using paper towels. For best results, refrigerate grapes for at least 30 minutes beforehand to chill thoroughly.
- Set Up Gelatin Coating: Pour the gelatin powder into a shallow dish or bowl, spreading it evenly to make coating easier and more uniform.
- Moisten Each Grape: In a separate small bowl, lightly dampen the grapes by rolling them in the water or briefly dipping one grape at a time to help the gelatin powder adhere.
- Coat the Grapes: Immediately roll or toss each damp grape in the gelatin powder until it is fully coated with the flavored gelatin. Use toothpicks or skewers to make dipping easier and cleaner if desired.
- Arrange and Chill: Place the coated grapes on a parchment-lined tray or plate in a single layer. Repeat the coating process for all grapes.
- Set the Coating: Chill the coated grapes in the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow the gelatin coating to set and harden.
- Serve: Serve the candy coated grapes cold for the best crunchy texture and refreshing taste.
Notes
- For vibrant colors and variety, use multiple gelatin flavors such as cherry, lime, and blue raspberry.
- Using toothpicks or skewers can help keep hands clean and make dipping easier.
- Store coated grapes in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal texture and freshness.
