Sour Frozen Grapes - Three Refreshing Methods
These sour frozen grapes offer a perfectly tangy, refreshingly cool treat for hot summer days. With three easy preparation methods, you can customize the level of sourness while creating a healthy snack the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh grapes (green, red, or black)
- For Method 1 - Lemon Dust:
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon citric acid (optional, for extra sourness)
- For Method 2 - Lime Soak:
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
Instructions
- Wash grapes thoroughly and remove from stems. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Choose your preferred method for adding sourness:
- Lemon Dust: Toss grapes in lemon juice, then sprinkle with lemon zest and citric acid (if using). Toss until evenly coated."
- Method 2 - Lime Soak: Place grapes in a bowl and pour lime juice over them. Add lime zest and gently toss. Let soak for 5 minutes, then drain excess juice.
- Arrange prepared grapes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely frozen.
- Transfer frozen grapes to a freezer-safe container for storage.
- Serve immediately from the freezer for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
Choose firm, seedless grapes for the best results
For less intense sourness, reduce the amount of citric acid or citrus juice.
These will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
Allow grapes to sit for 2-3 minutes before eating for a slightly softer texture.
For a sweeter-sour balance, try adding a light drizzle of honey before freezing.
