Stephanie Correa
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups green Chilean grapes
- 1 1/2 cups red Chilean grapes
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 3 cups tap water
- 3 cups ultrafine granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
Directions:
- Wash and thoroughly dry all grapes. Set aside.
- Make a simple syrup by bringing water and sugar just to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Stir until sugar has dissolved completely.
- Let syrup cool completely, then add grapes to the syrup and stir to coat. Refrigerate grapes in the syrup overnight.
- The following day, drain grapes and use paper towels to blot the simple syrup clinging to the skins.
- Line a large baking sheet with wax paper. Liberally, sprinkle ó cup white granulated sugar over the paper-lined baking sheet. Roll grapes in the sugar to lightly coat them with the sparkle-y sugar. Use additional sugar as needed.
- Let sugared grapes dry for one hour before serving
