"Spa"ctacular Frozen Grapes
"These grapes were served to me after a massage at my local spa. This recipe is perfect as an after-school snack, a simple appetizer at parties, or a sweet treat before bed. Substitute Splenda® for the sugar if you like! Can be kept in a sealed bag in the freezer for several months.""Spectacular" little recipe! Ya just gotta love it when a few items you have laying around the kitchen turn into something a little extra special... I've frozen fruit before, but never grapes. And while they're delicious with or without sugar - that addition gave regular 'ol grapes a little pizzaz. I did use less sugar than called for and opted for Spenda which made the amount even less. This was so easy and tasted oh so good - very nice little treat without any guilt.No sweetener necessary, even for kids' tastes, and certainly "spa"-healthier without! Frozen grapes are awesome just by themselves... They're like little natural popsicles!You can also use Sugar Free Jello for an added flavor.Never mind the sugar and put them on long skewers for a fun treat. They freeze beautifully and certainly are delicious.Really pretty and oh so tasty - I didn't use nearly as much sugar as called for - maybe 1 teaspoon total - This was just enough to give the grapes that crystal effect - they actually taste a bit like a sorbet. Thanks for a fun idea.Awesome. We really enjoyed this sugary frozen treat on a hot evening. No need to even complete steps 4 and 5. The grapes went straight into the freezer inside the resealable bag. Easy and delicious!Agree that no sugar is needed. I freeze them in snack-sized zip lock bags so so we can grab individual servings on the go (although you must eat them before they completely defrost or they will be mushy).Our grapes were extra sweet, so we didn't use sugar. This is something we actually do quite often. Just sticking them in the freezer and getting them out two hours later works well for snacks. Mmmmmm.
