Frozen Grapes: A refreshing snack

 The past few days have been up near 100F (in Los Angeles).  Hanging with the girls at the home has its advantages but when the heat kicks in … it can be less than ideal without air conditioning. To beat the heat, I drink plenty of ice-cold water and try to find low-calorie ways to keep cool. While raisins may be nature’s candy, frozen grapes are nature’s bite-sized popsicle treats.

After my best friends fiance came home with a tub of grapes it only made sense to throw them in the freezer for a nice cold treat for the hot summer days.

Simply wash and pat dry the grapes, then place into a freezer bag. Allow them to freeze for a few hours. You can pluck out the stems before freezing them but they freeze perfectly and are easy to pull out once frozen.

Cool and so refreshing, the grapes don’t become rock solid as you might think. They are firm but easy to bite into, like a naturally flavored grape popsicle in a bite-sized shape. So when you can’t finish your grapes or when you find them on sale, freeze them for a delicious treat!
