Ingredients for Sugared Grapes

  • Green Grape
  • Egg Whites
  • ½ cup granulated sugar

How to Make Sugared Grapes

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry 1 pound of red or green seedless grapes. Pat them completely dry with a paper towel for optimal sugar adhesion.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Add the dried grapes to the sugar mixture, gently tossing to coat each grape evenly.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Arrange the sugared grapes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the sugar to set and the grapes to chill. This helps create a beautiful crunchy candy coating.
  7. Once chilled, gently toss the grapes to remove any excess sugar crystals.
  8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
