Candied Grapes (With Video)
These candied grapes are a fun, sweet treat that kids will love. Made with grapes, sugar, and water, they are perfect for afternoon snacking, parties, or special occasions.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 cups grapes green, red, black, or a mix
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar divided
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Remove the stems from the grapes, rinse them thoroughly, and dry them well with a kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Add the water and 1/4 cup of the sugar to a medium-sized saucepan. Allow the sugar to melt over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. For this recipe, no need to hit candy temperature.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Carefully place the grapes in the saucepan. Use a spoon or swirl them around to coat them entirely with the syrup.
- Place a wire rack over a baking sheet or parchment paper. Use a skimmer or a spoon to transfer the grapes onto the rack in a single layer, not touching. Let them dry for 30-60 minutes. The coating should feel sticky but not wet.
- Coat the grapes with the rest of the sugar. For best coverage, roll each grape individually. Alternatively, you can use a small sifter to sprinkle sugar over the grapes. Then, flip them and sprinkle the other side.Watch the video to see how I made them.
- Set the candied grapes aside for another 30-60 minutes. Then you can store them for later or enjoy them.
