Frozen grapes :: The perfect figure-friendly treat for those hot summer days





If raisins are nature's candy, are frozen grapes nature's perfectly bite-sized popsicles?

I've been hearing about frozen grapes for years. I was a skeptic. Truth be told, they didn't sound very appealing to me. (No pun intended there!)  And yet, for some reason I thought I should try them. I took some red and green grapes, pulled them from their stems and placed them in a Zip Lock bag. A couple of hours later I had these perfectly little frozen treats. The frost looked lovely. Quite pretty in fact. I bit into one of the frozen fruits and was quite surprised with what greeted me, it was as though I was tasting a bite-sized grape-flavored Italian ice. I prefer the red ones myself - but I prefer them when they're not frozen as well. Frozen grapes also make a wonderful iced garnish to your beverage or cocktail without watering down your drink. So, really, these little frozen treats are perfection any way you look at them!



The green grapes may discolor a tiny bit as some of mine did. This is normal and they are still perfectly alright to eat.
