Question:
1) While watching the Food
Network, Sara Moulton said
something about freezing grapes.
Is that possible & how to do it?
Thanks - Unknown
2) I have an
excess of grapes which
will soon spoil if I
don't do something.
Since my husband and I
are both on the Nutri-System
diet, I cannot us
them in cooking. But we
can each have 15 grapes
as one serving of fruit.
Does freezing affect the
taste of the grape? Any
help you can provide is
very much appreciated. -

Freezing grapes is
simple and fun. Wash, dry and
de-stem grapes. Pack in airtight
containers and freeze. No sugar is
required because of the natural high
sugar and acid level acts as a
preservative. Eat as a snack right
from the freezer. Frozen grapes can
replace fresh grapes in every recipe
as they retain their intense color
and flavor and hold their shape when
thawed. When using frozen grapes for
preserves, thaw in refrigerator just
until crushable. Comments from readers: I actually
found that if I mix the
frozen grapes with Welch's
White Grape Peach Juice in a
small glass, I have a
wonderful dessert. It kind
of makes a slushy, and the
grapes themselves taste
great. I will probably never
eat another grape unless it
is frozen. - Alice
