Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- green grapes stems removed, washed and dried
- 3 oz. box each gelatin in red strawberry
- 3 box each gelatin in orange orange flavor
- 3 oz. box each gelatin in yellow lemon flavor
- 3 oz. box each gelatin in green lime flavor
- 3 oz. box each gelatin in blue berry blue flavor
Instructions
- Place each color of gelatin into a separate small bowl and set aside. Note that you likely wont need the entire bag, so its fine to start with about 1/4th of the bag and add as you need it. This also prevents the powder from getting too wet during the coating process.
- In a small bowl, combine the lime and lemon juice.
- Take a grape and dredge it in the lime and lemon juice mix, making sure it’s well-coated. Then, toss the grape in one of the gelatin bowls, covering it completely. I found that using my fingers was the easiest way to ensure the grapes got a nice, even coating.
- Place the coated grapes in a single layer on a plate or baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining grapes, using different gelatin colors to get a rainbow of flavors.
- Once all the grapes are coated, pop them in the fridge for at least an hour. This step is important because it helps the gelatin set, giving the grapes a slightly crunchy exterior.
- After refrigeration, your Sour Patch Grapes are ready to serve! They’re best enjoyed chilled or frozen.
Notes
- You can freeze or refrigerate grapes.
- There are a variety of gelatin options so try with Jolly Rancher, Jell-O, Starburst or whatever flavor you prefer.
