Step 1: Choose Fresh Grapes

Select firm, ripe grapes that are free from blemishes and mold. Both seedless and seeded varieties work, but seedless grapes are preferred for easier snacking.

Step 2: Wash and Dry the Grapes

Place the grapes in a colander and rinse them thoroughly under cool running water. You can also soak them in a bowl with water and a splash of vinegar to remove any pesticides or residue. After washing, dry the grapes well using a paper towel or clean kitchen cloth to prevent them from sticking together during freezing.

Step 3: Remove the Stems

Pluck the grapes off the stems and spread them on a dry paper towel. This helps ensure they freeze evenly.

Step 4: Arrange Grapes on a Baking Sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Spread the grapes in a single layer, making sure they do not touch each other. This prevents them from clumping together when frozen.

Step 5: Freeze the Grapes

Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the grapes freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until they are solid.

Step 6: Transfer to a Storage Container

Once frozen, transfer the grapes into a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Label the container with the date and store it in the freezer for up to 6 months.
