Frosted Grapes

Grapes? Yes, you read that right. My husband told me his mother used to do this in the hot California summertime. I did not believe that it could be a good thing, but he insisted and I tried it. If you look closely at the picture, you might see that the grapes are covered with a thin frost. That is because I just took them out of the freezer. If you are like me, you sometimes over buy fruit. If you have too many grapes, or if you just want something very refreshing and totally natural, freeze some grapes. Presto! You have tiny  fruit popsicles. The sweeter the grapes, the sweeter the "popsicle."

  1. Also good for grapes: cover with plain or vanilla yogurt (or sour cream) and sprinkle with brown sugar and enjoy!

  3. Grapes are a little too big for Trinity, but she LOVES frozen blueberries. If she is pointing at the freezer, she is either saying Icee!! or Blueberry!!

  4. We do the frozen grape thing here in Minnesota during the dog days of summer--when it can be over 100 degrees.

    I agree. Yogurt makes an amazing topping for grapes--even better if the grapes are frozen.

  5. I was going to ask if the grapes should be frozen before applying yogurt and sugar.
