Frozen Grape Lime Sugar Skewers (Print Version)

Sweet-tart frozen grape skewers coated in lime sugar make a refreshing, easy summer snack for all ages.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 2 cups seedless grapes (green, red, or mixed)

→ Lime Sugar

02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - Zest of 2 limes
04 - Pinch of fine sea salt (optional)

# How To Make:

01 - Thoroughly wash the grapes, remove the stems, and pat them dry to ensure no residual moisture.
02 - Thread 5 to 6 grapes onto each wooden skewer or cocktail stick, maintaining a snug arrangement.
03 - Place the skewered grapes on a parchment-lined tray in a single layer for even freezing.
04 - Transfer the tray to the freezer and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the grapes are completely frozen.

06 - Once frozen, roll each grape skewer in the lime sugar mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
07 - Serve immediately for optimal texture, or return finished skewers to the freezer until ready to present.
