Frozen Sour Grapes
With Candied Frozen Sour Grapes, you'll get a cold treat that's perfect for summer snacking. Frozen green grapes are covered in a sour Jello mixture that makes them both sweet and tangy - just like Sour Patch Candy!
Ingredients
- 3 lbs green seedless grapes (washed and dried well)
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 9 oz jello powder
- 3 tablespoon food-grade citric acid
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together jello mix and citric acid (keeping separate flavors in separate bowls if needed).
- Sprinkle lemon juice over grapes and toss.
- Add grapes and jello/citric acid mix to a Ziplock bag. Shake the grapes to coat.
- Place coated grapes in the freezer for at least 8 hours. Once frozen, store in an airtight container (like a freezer bag).
Notes
- Green seedless grapes work best for frozen sour grapes because their natural tartness balances the sweet coating. Red or Cotton Candy grapes will taste noticeably sweeter.
- Make sure the grapes are completely dry before coating - excess moisture can prevent the Jello mixture from sticking.
- Citric acid is optional but gives the grapes their classic “Sour Patch” sour kick. Start small and adjust to taste.
- Freeze the grapes in a single layer for at least 8 hours or overnight to achieve the best candy-shell texture.
- Store frozen sour grapes in an airtight container and enjoy within 1–2 months for best texture and flavor.
