Sour Candy Grapes
Since we discovered that jello makes an awesome candy coating on popcorn, we have been looking for ways to use it on other items. SO why not on grapes?
Ingredients:
1 lb bag of Grapes
1 large box Jello – Green (we used Jolly Rancher Sour Apple)
Directions:
Pour Jello into a serving size bowl
Remove stems and wash grapes
Toss the grapes and roll them around in the jello until well coated
Place coated grapes on a tray and allow them to dry for about an hour in the refrigerator
We like to freeze some of the sour grapes and use them in beverages as ice cubes. Lime coated grapes add just a little hint of flavor to your coke or iced tea.
Watermelon is another favorite flavor at our house.
Note: If you use the colorless flavors, your grapes will have a white coating on them. No difference in the taste, just the appearance. If you use the jello that contains the dyes, you will have brightly colored grapes…and fingertips! Remember to have your little ones bite the grapes in half rather than place whole grape in their mouth…or cut them in half for them.
Try this recipe… let us know what flavors you made and how you like them!
These sound great, we love sour and grapes.
I am a souraholic- I gotta try these, mmmm!
I love frozen grapes but never thought of this. I will try this !
I love the idea of freezing them to use as ice cubes. I wish I would have read this last week. I got a call from my husband and he said “is there a reason you put the grapes in the freezer?” It must have been one of those absent minded moments because I had no intention of doing that! Now, I can do it on purpose!
Oh, my! I have to try this one! I’m already trying to pick a Jello flavor, lol!
What a great idea, I will have to give them a try!
Oh Em Gee – I did not know they made sour Jell-o – what an awesome idea! I’ll have ot pick some up and make these grapes. For the summer I’ll keep some in the freezer!
Love this idea. I love ANY salad with grapes in it. I’ve got a great one that we fix a lot. I’ll try to remember to post it for you. It is divine!
This sour grape idea is great! I never would have thought to use Jello for flavoring drinks. I bet it tastes great.
I appreciate all the contests you run Sherryl! I spend most of my online time with you! I hope to keep learning from you in future. Thanks!
My son is absolutely going to freak when I make these tonight! Thanks for the awesome idea.I have got to try the popcorn recipe too!
OMG! I love this idea and my family loves sour candies. This would be a much better alternative!
I love grapes and this looks like a fun new way to enjoy them. Ill have to try this
These were definitely interesting! And simple to make.
I’m thinking about making my sour candy grapes with the cherry flavor (my favorite Jolly Rancher candy)
This is such a great idea, I cannot wait to try this. I usually get the Strawberry flavored Jello, I have never tried Sour Apple flavored Jello, I will have to give it a try. I’m looking forward to using the sour grapes as ice cubes! Thank you for sharing this very innovative recipe.
Oh wow. This would be perfect to make with my nieces this week. I was actually talking about doing something like this earlier this week. I am so glad I found this!
YUM! We love grapes and peanut butter… or you can dip them in chocolate and sugar they look like acorns! 🙂
I bet this would taste great in ice water! I never thought doing such a thing with grapes and jello, but that sounds delicious, especially as the weather gets warmer.
I love sour candy so sour grapes has to be a healthier option, right? Thanks for the suggestion of using Jello! Great idea!
Purple grapes and grape flavored jello is sitting in my freezer right now!
Wow. I bet these were really delicious. Were they really sour at all? I have frozen grapes before as a snack and they are so good! I bet if watermelon would be good.
These look so delicious! Thank you for sharing.
What a great idea! We love frozen grapes also. I know my kids will love these since the love sour things. Thanks for the recipe!
