This easy sugared grapes recipes is perfect for snacking or taking to a summer picnic! At least one time a year someone gives me a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine and this is the perfect use for it! Such an elegant and easy dessert for one. These sugar coated grapes are the perfect balance of sweet and tart.
Ingredients
What type of grapes? You can use any seedless grapes you like for this recipe, but I prefer the green grapes because of the tart flavor. Using seedless grapes is important!
What type of sparkling wine? Use your favorite sparkling wine. They all work great.
Quick Tip
You do not have to freeze these,they can be served once they’re coated and chilled. The frozen grapes however, will last longer when serving at a gathering.
Step One: Remove grapes from the stem and rinse well. Put the grapes in a medium bowl and pour the sparkling wine over them until they’re just covered. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
Step Two: Place half of the sugar in a small bowl. Remove the grapes from the fridge and, using a slotted spoon, scoop them out, let them drain before placing them in the sugar.
Step Three: Work in small batches, maybe 10-12 grapes at a time. Roll the grapes in the sugar to get well coated. Remove from the sugar and place on a serving plate in a single layer. After you have coated about have of the grapes, the sugar may get a little clumpy, toss it and use the remaining half for the rest of the grapes.
Step Four: Once all the grapes are coated, place in the freezer and freeze for 2 hours, or until frozen through.
