Chilled Sour Grapes Candy (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2-3 teaspoons citric acid, or even more if you want extra tang (optional)
02 -
1 cup monk fruit sweetener, granulated
03 -
2 limes, squeezed for juice
04 -
4 cups green grapes, washed really well
# Instructions:
01 -
Set the sweet grapes on the parchment-lined tray, giving each a little space. Stick the tray in the freezer for a few hours until everything's solid.
02 -
Pop the chilled grapes out of the fridge. Either use your fingers or a spoon to roll each one through the sweet and sour sugar mix so they're totally covered.
03 -
Grab a medium bowl and stir your monk fruit sweetener with some citric acid if you'd like a sour burst. Mix it up so it's all blended.
04 -
Pour that fresh lime juice right over your clean grapes in a big bowl. Toss 'em around so every grape gets a taste, then stash the bowl in the fridge for about 10 minutes to soak in the zesty flavors.
05 -
Put down some parchment on your sheet pan. That way nothing will stick later.
# Notes:
01 -
Citric acid gives a sharp kick that brings out the sweet notes for a fun, candy-like blend.
02 -
If you don't have monk fruit, swap in Swerve, erythritol, or some organic stevia instead.
03 -
Keep your frozen grapes in any airtight freezer bag or container, and they're good for about a month.
04 -
Swap the grapes for cotton candy grapes and pour on some simple syrup instead of lime for a treat that gives off big Jolly Rancher energy.
