Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300 grams) seedless grapes, mix of red and green
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
- 6–8 wooden or bamboo skewers, about 6 inches (15 cm) each
Instructions
- Wash and dry the grapes thoroughly to prevent ice crystals.
- Optionally toss grapes with lemon or lime juice in a mixing bowl.
- Spread grapes individually on a freezer-safe tray lined with parchment paper or silicone mat; freeze for at least 2 hours until solid.
- Thread 5-6 frozen grapes onto each wooden skewer carefully to avoid breaking grapes or splintering skewers.
- Place skewers back on the tray and freeze for an additional hour to firm up.
- Remove skewers from freezer a few minutes before serving to soften slightly.
Notes
Let grapes thaw for 3-5 minutes before skewering if too hard. Use firm, seedless grapes for best texture. Tossing grapes in citrus juice helps prevent sticking and adds brightness. Store skewers in airtight container in freezer up to 2 weeks. Re-freeze for 30 minutes before serving again to re-firm.
