How to Make Frosted Green Grapes For Garnish

  1. Gently wash and thoroughly dry 1 pound of green grapes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg white (or omit for a sugar-only option).
  3. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush each grape with the egg white (or skip this step if omitting egg whites).
  4. Immediately sprinkle the grapes generously with 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or castor sugar) ensuring all grapes are evenly coated.
  5. Place the grapes on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and allow them to dry completely for at least 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally.
  6. Once dry, carefully transfer the frosted grapes to an airtight container and use as a garnish. If using egg whites, consume within a few hours for optimal food safety.
