# Components:

→ Fruit

03 - 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint

# Method:

02 - Spread grapes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
03 - Drizzle with lemon juice for added zest if desired.
04 - Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until grapes are fully frozen and firm.
05 - Transfer frozen grapes to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh mint if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes five minutes of effort and rewards you with a treat that feels fancy but costs almost nothing.
  • Naturally sweet with zero added sugar, guilt, or cleanup beyond rinsing a baking sheet.
  • Works as a snack, a garnish, or even ice cubes that wont water down your drink.
02 -
  • Dry the grapes thoroughly or theyll stick to the parchment and each other, turning your snack into a frozen grape brick.
  • Use parchment paper instead of wax paper because wax paper can peel off in little bits when the grapes freeze.
  • Eat them within a few weeks because freezer burn eventually dulls their sweetness and makes the skins tough.
03 -
  • Freeze grapes when theyre at peak ripeness because freezing locks in whatever sweetness they already have.
  • Use a metal baking sheet instead of plastic because metal freezes faster and more evenly.
  • If youre in a hurry, smaller grapes freeze in about 90 minutes, while giant ones can take three hours or more.
