Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 grams) grapes
Jello Flavors:
- 1 box raspberry jello
- 1 box berry blue jello
- 1 box orange jello
- 1 box lime jello
- 1 box lemon jello
- 1 box grape jello
Instructions
- Carefully detach ripe grapes from their stems and rinse under cool running water in a colander, ensuring complete cleansing.
- Fill a small shallow dish with room temperature water for grape coating preparation.
- Pour individual jello powder flavors onto separate clean paper plates or shallow dishes, creating colorful powder stations.
- Insert a toothpick securely into each grape, creating a convenient handling mechanism for coating process.
- Dunk each grape briefly into water, allowing slight moisture to help jello powder adhere uniformly to the grape’s surface.
- Roll moistened grape through selected jello powder, ensuring complete and even coverage around entire grape.
- Gently transfer powder-coated grapes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them to prevent touching and maintaining flavor separation.
- Position baking sheet in freezer, maintaining a consistent temperature around 0°F, and allow grapes to solidify for approximately 60-90 minutes.
- Once completely frozen, grapes will develop a crisp, crystalline exterior with intense jello-infused flavor and refreshing texture.
- Remove from freezer and serve immediately for optimal taste and temperature enjoyment.
Notes
- Grape Selection Choose seedless, firm grapes for the best texture and easiest coating process.
- Water Temperature Use room temperature water to help jello powder stick more effectively to grape surfaces.
- Flavor Mixing Experiment with different jello powder colors and flavors to create vibrant, fun combinations.
- Diet-Friendly Alternative Replace sugar-based jello with sugar-free options for a lower-calorie, diabetic-friendly snack.
