Sour Patch Grapes (Strawberry-Lemon Version)
Viral TikTok treat that tastes like candy but uses real fruit. These frozen grapes get coated in strawberry Jello powder and lemon juice for the perfect sweet-tart combination.
Equipment
- Large zip-top bag
- Parchment-Lined Baking Sheet
- Fine-mesh strainer (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 cups green grapes rinsed and still slightly damp
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 3 oz packet strawberry Jell-O powder (dry mix only)
Instructions
- Prep the grapes: Rinse grapes thoroughly and pat gently with paper towels, leaving them slightly damp for optimal powder adhesion.
- Add citrus: Place grapes in zip-top bag, add lemon juice, seal, and shake vigorously to coat evenly.
- Coat with powder: Open bag, sprinkle in strawberry Jello powder, reseal, and shake until grapes are completely coated with bright pink powder.
- Arrange for freezing: Spread coated grapes in single layer on parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Freeze: Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm. Transfer to airtight containers for longer storage.
- Serve: Enjoy straight from freezer for the ultimate candy-like texture and flavor.
Notes
Don't completely dry grapes – slight moisture helps powder stick
Shake bag vigorously for even coating
Store frozen grapes for up to 1 month in airtight containers
Let sit 2-3 minutes before eating if frozen overnight for optimal texture
