Sparkling sugared grape clusters are a light, festive, and easy-to-make party snack featuring fresh grapes coated in a delicate sugar syrup and granulated sugar for a refreshing crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh seedless grapes, preferably firm, red or green
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar (or superfine sugar for finer crunch)
  • ½ cup (120ml) water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the grapes thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove grapes from stems and set aside about 2 cups (300g) of seedless grapes.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and ½ cup (120ml) water. Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice if using. Stir gently over medium heat until sugar dissolves completely, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid boiling.
  3. Increase heat slightly and simmer syrup gently for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly to a syrupy consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Remove pan from heat. Using a slotted spoon or fork, dip grapes into warm syrup, coating each grape well. Transfer grapes quickly to a bowl of granulated sugar and gently toss to coat all sides. Work in small batches.
  5. Place sugared grapes evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray, spreading them out to prevent sticking. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set the sugar coating.
  6. Once sugar has set, transfer sparkling sugared grape clusters to a serving bowl or platter. Serve chilled, allowing grapes to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before eating for best flavor.

Notes

Do not let the syrup boil or get too hot to avoid hard brittle coating. Work quickly when coating grapes as syrup thickens as it cools. Chill grapes thoroughly to set sugar coating for best sparkle and crunch. Use superfine sugar for a finer texture. Store sugared grapes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To refresh sugar coating, toss grapes again in dry sugar.
