Ingredients
  

For the Candied Grapes
  • 1 pound grapes (red or green) Make sure to rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Add after sugar dissolves.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash your grapes under cool running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and salt. Stir over medium heat until all the sugar dissolves, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Once the sugar has dissolved, carefully stir in the vanilla extract.
Coating
  1. Hold each grape by the stem and dip it into the candy syrup, swirling to coat evenly.
  2. Allow any excess syrup to drip off, then place the grape on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Continue the process until all grapes are coated and let them cool at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to harden.
Serving
  1. Once the candy coating firms up, your Sweet Candied Grapes are ready to serve!
  2. These can be enjoyed immediately or stored for later.

Notes

For unique flavor twists, consider trying black grapes or mini grape tomatoes. Ensure grapes are thoroughly dried before dipping, and work quickly to avoid the candy syrup cooling too much.
