Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 lb grapes
- 1 box raspberry jello
- 1 box berry blue jello
- 1 box orange jello
- 1 box lime jello
- 1 box lemon jello
- 1 box grape jello
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare the Grapes: Begin by removing the grapes from the stems, then wash them thoroughly using a colander to ensure they are clean and ready for dipping.
- Set Up Jello Dishes: Pour one cup of water into a small dish. In separate small dishes or on small paper plates, spread out each flavor of jello powder: raspberry, berry blue, orange, lime, lemon, and grape.
- Dip Grapes in Water and Jello: Using a toothpick, skewer a single grape and dip it into the water to moisten it. Immediately dip the wet grape into one of the jello powders, coating it evenly with the flavored gelatin.
- Arrange for Freezing: Place the coated grapes on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Organize the grapes by jello flavor to keep each taste distinct.
- Freeze: Place the cookie sheet with the grapes into the freezer and chill for at least one hour or until the grapes are completely frozen and the jello coating has set.
Notes
- Use seedless grapes for a more enjoyable snack experience.
- Keep the grapes separated by flavor when freezing to prevent the jello powders from mixing.
- Make sure grapes are well dried after washing to help the jello powder stick better.
- Serve frozen for a refreshing bite, especially on hot days.
- Experiment with different jello flavors or even sugar-free gelatin options for variety.
