# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like nature's candy but with actual fruit, no guilt required.
  • Takes five minutes of actual work, then the freezer does the rest while you do literally anything else.
  • Perfect for sneaking to guests who claim they don't eat sweets—they always ask for more.
02 -
  • Don't skip the drying step—any excess moisture freezes into ice crystals that ruin the texture you're going for.
  • If you're coating them, make sure the juice actually dries on the grapes before the sugar sticks, or you'll end up with clumpy, wet sugar instead of a delicate coating.
03 -
  • Spread your grapes on the baking sheet with space between each one so they freeze individually instead of clumping together into a solid mass.
  • The smaller the gap between rinsing and freezing, the better—any time sitting at room temperature starts the thawing process before they even hit the freezer.
