SO HOW'D IT GO?
Wow, who knew that the simple grape could turn into such a flavor powerhouse when frozen? This is such a simple idea, and I've heard of people doing it for years, but I always thought it seemed a little silly (I'm sorry!). However, I read that someone said it was good for grapes that are almost going bad, so I had some and went for it. Yums! It does feel so dessert-like and decadent! Now it just needs to be summer time and I'll enjoy these even more.
I used to freeze red grapes during college. Yum!
If you freeze them and then let them thaw a little bit, they're sherbet-ish. It's like a frozen desert treat.
I love frozen grapes. They are my fav treat on a hot summer day. 8)
Why frozen, doesn't it somehow enhance the flavour or something? Why not just eat them fresh?

Yes, freezing the grapes will make them sweeter. That is why icewine has such intense flavour.

these are yuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! but why are they so good for dieting?
Now that scorching weather is here, I have been eating frozen grapes. They really hit the spot! I accidentally got black grapes the first time and, though good, were a bit more bitter than I wanted so I got red grapes and they are surprisingly sweet when frozen. Yummy! My current batch of red grapes has a few less sweet ones in the bunch(es) but they're still good, especially when it's 110 degrees outside like this week. 8-) Thanks for this idea!
I had some really sweet red grapes on hand. This was a perfect treatment for them. Yum. This will definitely be on my summer snackin list.
I used to do this a lot.
One thing I did wrong once though was that I put four big bags of grapes in a small freezer and they melted everything else. So just a bag at a time :)
I freeze strawberries, blueberries and green grapes. I love them as a snack.
Great idea with the smoothies, but let them thaw a wee bit if you have sensitive teeth like me...
